HYBRID CHINESE ROSES. [^ApriL 



Brennus or Brutus, of some French collections, vivid red or 

 nearly scarlet, and, as a pillar rose, is one of the 

 finest objects I have ever witnessed ; flowers extreme- 

 ly large, and of the most exquisite form, cupped, and 

 perfectly double. 



Catel, dark crimson, globular shape and very double. 



Coup de Hebe, delicate pink. 



Dandigne, violet purple. 



Duke of Devonshire, rosy lilac faintly striped with white, 

 imbricated and perfect in its shape. 



Egerie, brilliant red, a free grower. 



Fabvier, very large changeable pink and red. 



Fulgens or Malton, unique in brilliancy, approaching bright 

 scarlet, with large globular flowers, and of vigorous 

 growth, and foliage finely tinted with red. 



General Lamarque, very dark crimson, of luxuriant growth, 

 and very distinct. 



George the Fourth (Rivers'), most beautiful crimson, very 

 large and exquisitely double, and of globular form. 

 If in good rich soil, the shoots will grow eight feet 

 in one season; foliage of a shining dark reddish 

 green, and is unquestionably one of the finest of the 

 family. 



Georgiana, deep pink, cupped, large and finely double. 

 Grillony, slaty rose color. 

 L'ingenue, shaded violet crimson. 



Lady Stuart, flesh color, the form of the flowers before ex- 

 pansion is perfectly spherical, and of exceeding beauty. 

 ' Louis Philippe, very splendid dark rose, a strong grower, 



Parny or La tourterelle, lilac or dove color, cupped and 

 very double, requires to grow to a large bush before 

 its beauty of form and profusion of bloom can be 

 seen. 



Princess, delicate rose, globular and perfectly double, and 

 makes an excellent standard of itself, not being very 

 subject to make shoots from the root. 



Prolif^re, dark rosy crimson, changing to violet, very perfect 

 form, a dwarf. 



Triomphe de Lafixiy, rosy white, large and very beautiful. 



Victor Hugo, changeable rosy violet.
