There will be found more than one duplicate in the 

 lists given, but in these cases the variety is so useful for 

 each purpose that it could not be passed over simply 

 because it had been already mentioned. 



The Tea Rose. 



When the Blush Tea Rose came from China in 1810, few flower gardeners were aware 

 that in their midst was a plant destined to change the face in no small degree of the English 

 garden. The old Roses of the day scented the June breezes with their sweet breath, but 

 the Tea Roses of our time, which had their origin in the Rose from China, have upset the 

 old order of things. Rose time is no longer the leafy month of June, for the Teas, Chinas,

and other hybrid races are with us until the late autumn rains and frosts. Ten years later 

 than the Blush Tea came the Yellow Tea, with the result that the still precious and always 

 beautiful Devoniensis was born into the Rose world through this union. Few kinds, however, 

 were raised until i860, but between this year and 1870 a noble set of varieties was given 

 to the world, including Alba Rosea, Belle Lyonnaise, Catherine Mermet, Jean Pernet, 

 La Boule d'Or, Mme. Charles, one of the most beautiful of the whole race, Mme. Margottin, 

 President, the Noisette Reve d'Or, and Marechal Niel, which was raised in 1864. It is 

 interesting to know that the Rev. Mr. Hollingsworth was one of the first to exhibit Tea-scented 

 Roses, and his flowers at the show held in Hanover Square Rooms in 1858 were a revelation.
