TYPE OF THE LOOSE PETALLED TEA ROSES. 
*Celine Porestier. Fine bright yellow, very fragrant ; 
lias fine foliage, and is an abundant bloomer. 
*Comtesse de Nadaillac. Eeautiful flesh piuk, turning 
to coppery yellow towards the base of the petals ; vevy 
large, globular shaped ; one of the best. 
Cornelia Cook. Large, exquisitely formed white flow- 
ers ; Or splendid rose when in perfection. 
*Etoile de Iiyon. Rich saffron yellow; large and full ; 
blooms profusely, and is an attractive and valuable 
variety. 
*01oire de Dijon. Buff, with orange center; fine foli- 
age, and is of vigoi'ous and rather climbing habit; 
nearly hardy, and one of the finest out-door roses. 
*IsabeUa Sprunt. Canary yellow ; very free flowering 
and useful for cutting purposes. 
*ta France. This superb rose is variously placed as a 
Hybrid Perpetual or a Hybrid Tea. We have de- 
scribed it as the former on page 160, but as it is really 
one of the finest everblooming roses, it is mentioned 
here. It probably combines moi-e points of perfection 
than any other single variety, and no rose garden is 
complete without it. 
*La Princess Vera. Pale flesh, with a coppery tint; 
large and well formed ; a beautiful sort. 
Madame Cusin. Purplish rose, center slightly tinted 
with yellowish white ; very fine and distinct, and has 
won much admiration in late years.

dered with rose; resembling a tulip. Vigorous, full 
and of fine form ; a beautiful rose.
