139

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 ihe 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, vig. or free. (Lacharme, 186?.) 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. Bud- 

 ded and on own roots. 50o. 



Coquettes des Blaiiclies. vig. or free. (Lacharme, 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. Budded and on own roots. 50c. 

 ELIZA BOELLE, mod. (Guillot, 1869 ) White, dehcately tinged with pmk; medium size; full, beautiful circular 



form. An exquisite rose. Budded plants. 50c. 

 Madame Noman, divf. (Guillot -pere, 186~.) White, sometimes with shaded center; medium size; full, globular. A 



rose of exquisite beauty. Budded plants. 50c. 



CLASS X.-HYBRID REMONTANT OR HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES. 



{Rosa damascena hybrida.) 



This class thrives the best in a rich soil. The pruning should be regulated by the habit of growth, the weak shoots 

 closely cut in, those which are vigorous left longer. Most of the varieties are fragrant: some of them, like Alfred 

 Colomb, Louis Van Houtte, Mme. Victor Verdier, etc., are most deliciously perfumed. 



Although they are styled 2>erpetual bloomers, none of them are such in reality. However, many of them yield a fair 

 second crop of flowers in the autumn, which is very acceptable. Aside from this, there is no class, take it all in all, so 

 popular and which gives such general satisfaction. 



Abel Carrlere, mod. (E. Verdier, 1S75.) Velvety crimson, with fiery center. Of better form and finish than most of 

 the dark sorts. Shy in autumn. Budded plants. 50c.
