CATALOGUE OF ROSES. 21 



Climbing Bessie Johnson. (G. Paul, 1878.) Vig. Jules Margottin type. 

 Kosy blush, medium size or above ; fragrant and good. Large budded plants, $1.00 ; 

 small pot plants, 50 cents. 



Climbing Victor Verdier. (G. Paul & Son, 1871.) Free. Flowers somewhat 

 smaller and less freely produced than in the old sort, but the growth is much stronger. 



Princess Louise Victoria. (Knight, 1872.) Vig. Soft salmon pink ; of 

 medium size, of good semi-globular form ; not fragrant. Wood rather smooth, foliage 

 dark and handsome. A very beautiful rose. 



Red Dragon. (W. Paul & Son, 1878.) Free or mod. Brilliant crimson ; flowers 

 large, double, cup-shape. This was represented as of exceeding vigorous growth, which 

 is not the case ; we do not think it will have any value. By mail, 40 cents each ; large 

 plants by express, 60 cents each. 



Relne Marie Henriette, See Climbing Teas. 



Class yill. -Perpetual Moss Roses. 



(KosA Centifolia Muscosa.) 



These have the same characteristics as the other Moss Boses, except that they flower 

 in Autumn. A great many so-called Perpetual Moss Roses have been sent out, but the 

 three which we offer are the only ones, in our opinion, that are worth growdng. None 

 of the three give buds that are equal in quality to some of the Summer varieties, but 

 they come at a time of year when the others are not to be had, and are therefore useful. 



Madame Edward Ory. (Robert, 1854.) Mod. Carmine-red, of medium or 



large size ; full. 



SALET. ( Lacharme, lSo4.) Free ov vig. Light rose, large, full ; pretty in bud. 



Soupert-et-lSTotting. (Pemet, 1874:.) JDwf. Carmine-rose, very large flowers ; 

 i'ull, and of fine globular form when perfect; highly scented. A splendid Rose, though 

 having little moss, and a true ever-blooming sort. Budded plants only ; price, $1.00. 



Class IX.— Hybrid Noisette Roses. 



(Rosa Noisettiana Hybrida.) 



This is a modern group of considerable importance, obtained chiefly from crosses 

 between Remontant, Bourbon and Noisette Roses. They generally flower in small 

 clusters, and bloom freely throughout the year. The flowers are mostly white, and, 

 though small, are generally of good form. They are of about the same hardiness as 

 the Bourbons and Hybrid Teas, requiring a little more care in their protection than 

 the Hybrid Perpetuals. Eliza Boelle and Mme. Noman are the most beautiful, but 

 are also the poorest growers. It is a class quite subject to mildew. 



Coquette des Alpes. (ZacAarme, 1867.) Vig. OY free. White, slightly shaded 

 with carmine ; medium size ; form semi-cupped, wood long-jointed ; larger flowers 

 than the others. The strongest grower of the entire class, but less bushy than some 

 others. 



COQUETTE_I>ES BLANCHES. {Lacharme, 181 '^.) Vig. ov free. Pure 

 white, sometimes faintly tinged with pink ; flowers of medium size, somewhat flat, but 

 full and very pretty ; growth more bushy and symmetrical than any of the others. One 

 ■of the hardiest. Later than the rest in coming into flower. This seems to supersede 

 Baronne de Maynard and Mme. Alfred de Rougemont.
