Antoine Rivoire. An ideal Rose of large size and ex- 

 quisite form ; the color is a soft, rosy flesh on a yellow 

 ground, shaded with a border of carmine. This Rose is 

 better known under the name of Mrs. Taft; it is exten- 

 sively grown for cut flowers, which are sold under this 

 name. As a garden Rose it is a variety of exceptional 

 merit in our climate, being perfectly hardy and immune 

 from disease, and one that wiU flower continually. 

 The flowers are carried on erect, vigorous stems and 

 are therefore particularly desirable for cut flower pur- 

 poses. An enthusiastic rosarian of keen discrimination, 

 while inspecting our field of some 24,000 plants last 

 Autumn, remarked: " If I had to devote my entire 

 Rose garden to a single variety, that variety would 

 be Antoine Rivoire."

 good substance; very fragrant. A strong, vigorous 

 grower; particularly good in Autumn.

 A garden Rose of excellent habit.
