THE ROSE AND ITS CULTURE. 



149 



Qvieen ofBedders. — Dark crimson. One of the best. 

 Reine Victoria. — Bright pink. 

 Setina. — Pink ; fine. 



Sir Joseph Faxton. — Bright rose, shaded with 

 crimson. 



Souvenir de Mahnaison. — This is in many respects 

 the finest and most distinct of all the Bourbon 

 Roses. It is nearly white, with a blush of flesh- 

 colour in the centre of the flowers; exquisite in 

 bud, which is long, the petals being thick and full of 

 substance. Often malformed in the early summer 

 months, the buds and flowers grow more perfect as 

 the season advances, until throughout the autumn 

 and early winter it becomes one of the most useful 

 and beautiful of Roses. 



In striking contrast to this is the brilliant, rather 

 new Bourbon Rose, Queen of Bedders, of compact 

 habit and colour, so brilliant as to have been com- 

 pared to the richest-coloured of all Roses, Charles 

 Lefeb\Te. 



Noisettes. — The following are among the very 

 best for the garden 



Aimee Vibcrt. — Pure white, most profuse ; the gem 

 of the garden. 



Of this, there is also a variegated- leaved variety, 

 rather rare, and a stronger grower, known in the 

 trade as Aimee Vibert Scandens. 



Celine Forest ier. — Soft sulphur, flowering in clus- 

 ters ; beautiful in bud. 



Fu Luxembourg. — Largo and double, lilac. 



Fellenberg. — Bright crimson ; one of the brightest 

 an^l best of Noisette Roses. 



Miss Glegg. — Pm-e white and flesh, in small clus- 

 ters, in the way of Aimee Vibert. 



Fumila alba. — Dwarf ; very floriferous. 



Triomphe de Fucher. — Pale rose, large clusters. 



Unique J aune. — Coppery-yellow ; vigorous. 



There are many other fine Noisettes, but most of 

 them will find a place among our wall Roses, as 

 they are somewhat tender. Some of the most valu- 

 able of garden Roses are, however, found among 

 Hybrid Bourbons, Noisettes, and Chinese Roses. 



Among those deserving a place in every gai'den 

 are : — 



Abbe Gerardin. — Chaste, light rose. 



Baronne Gonella. — Bright rose, exquisite in form 

 and arrangement ; one of the best. 



Reine Victoria. — Bright pink ; a fine Rose. 



Baronne de Maynard. — A pure white, perpetual- 

 flowering Bourbon, of great excellence. 



21adame Flantier. — This well-known, most flori- 

 ferous, fine white Rose, is still one of the best of all 

 for the garden. 



Madelei^ie is another white Rose, edged with 

 crimson. 



The Rev. H. Fombrain. — Bright carmine. 



Beauty of Billiard. — Brilliant scarlet ; a favourite 

 old Rose of the Hybrid Chinas. 



Blairii Ko. 2. — Large, double, blush-pink. 



Chcnedole. — Light vermilion ; capital grower ; one 

 of the most showy of the old Roses. 



Brennus. — Light carmine, beautifully cupped ; fine 

 foliage. 



Miss Fig ram. — Delicate blush- white, and globular ; 

 good. 



William Allen Richardson. — Rich orange-yello"/ ■ 

 striking. 



Fulgens. — Very bright crimson. 



Coupe d''Flebe. — One of the most exquisitely-formed 

 of all pink Roses. 



Chas. Fuval. — Deep pink, large and full. 



Faul Verdier . — \A^i carmine, fine form. 



Madame Barriot. — Light rose, large and fine. 



Vivid. — Brilliant crimson. 



Faul Ferras. — Rich rose ; very double. 



Chas. Laivson. — Almost equal to Coupe d''FLtbc^ and 

 a good deal like it, but a darker pink. 



Faul Ricaut. — Rich rosv-crimson, very full. 



Among Albas, or White Roses, as they are called, 

 the following are perhaps the best : — 



Ftlicite [Farmentier) . — Rosy flesh-colour with white 

 margins. 



Blush Rip. — Delicate blush, with flesh-coloured 

 centres. 



La Seduisante. — Deep rose and full. 



Queen of Fcnmarh. — Rosy-pink, with paler margins. 



Several other classes of Roses, such as the Ayr- 

 shire, Evei-green, Banksia, Musk, &c., axe referred 

 to elsewhere. 



Tea Roses. — Among these we flnd some of the 

 most valuable of all garden Roses. First and fore- 

 most among them is Gloire de Fijon. This is hardier 

 than the common China Monthly, and at once the 

 hardiest and best of all the Tea Roses. It is also the 

 most popular, and the most generally grown. The 

 merest novice in gardening must be familiar with 

 that rich mixture of yellow, buff, orange, and salmon, 

 that sweetly glide and softly flow into each other in 

 this beautiful and fragi^ant Rose. The Pink Glory, 

 as it has been called, or more correctly Gloire de 

 Bordeaux, is a stronger grower of a deep pink 

 colour, especially in late autumn. 



Marechal Niel is not only magnificent under glass 

 or on a warm wall, but fonns a charming weeping- 

 standard in the open, and is the most mag-nificent 

 and fi-agrant of all gnrden Roses. 



Homcre. — Blush, mottled, deeper-coloured centre ; 

 fine, especially in the autumn. 



Bougere. — Light pink ; very hardy. 



Fresident. — Rich rosy-salmon.
