 : Torthv Editor asked me to deal with, and I propose to add a list of 

 f?v* rieties which I have found to give the best late crops of blooms. 



Tr ends when looking at my roses late in the season, have very 

 . " tlv asked if the blooms then on the plants were the second crop, 

 Pi have had to confess I could not say to which crop they belonged. 



•The tea-scented roses are nearly the first to bloom, and with care and 

 nod" cultivation many varieties continue producing flowers m the greatest 

 Ssion till absolutely stopped by frost. Therefore it is nearly 

 ^possible to say when one crop is over and another begins. 1 consider 

 some special cultivation is necessary to ensure plenty of late flowers, as, 

 distinct from early ones, the best preparation I know of being a good 

 fost crop on well thinned, healthy plants. 



Taking it for granted the| plants have been properly pruned, and are 

 in a healthy state, ;care must be taken to thin out the weakly growths, 

 and the earlier this s done the better. Some really-good shoots, too, 



ywhere but! where one wants them to furnish'la "good : plant, and 



and uninjured. 



The following thirty-six varieties, I consider, produce the best late 

 crops of blooms, and to be the most useful to the average cultivator :

Not verv lon°- ago a pretty Japanese rose was introduced to British 

 gardens chiefly through American horticulturists, and at once attracted 

 attention by reason of its quaint and vigorous prostrate growth and white 

 flowers. It was first made known under the name of Rosa 

 Wichuraiana, and probably that name will stick to it for a long time, 

 notwithstanding the authority of the Bot. Mag. at t 7421 for the title of 

 Rosa Lucia? The story of the introduction of this species is given, 



, , „, , «, together with an illustration, in the Gardeners' Magazine of August 



am not writing these few 1 7th, 1895, p. 508. The accompanying illustration represents one of the 

 s who take part in competi- several charming hybrids of Rosa Lucia? produced by Mr. W. A. Manda, 

 garden decoration and for of New Jersey, U.S.A. ; it is a distinct novelty, inasmuch as its flowers 

 be small and unsatisfactory are double and white. As trailing plants for rockeries and rootenes, R. 



Lucia? and its several hybrids are eminently satisfactory, as here they 

 show' themselves off to the best advantage. As pot plants they are not a 

 great success owing to the length of the growths, but when allowed to 

 assume their natural prostrate habit, few roses are prettier or more 

 interesting. The variety figured is named Manda's Triumph, and was 

 exhibited by Messrs. J. Veitch and Sons, Chelsea, at the Temple Show of
