Mademoiselle Quetel, Marie de Bourges, Sephora, Triomplie en Beaute, 
James Veitch, Leon Plee, and several others, all pretty enougli — for what 
Rose is not ? — but with verj little distinction in their characters. Gervaise 
Rouillard is a cheat; it is the old Hybrid China, General Lamoriciere. 
Some few of the Roses among the Hybrid Perpetuals, introduced in 1853, 
have bloomed this season in great perfection, and have proved themselves 
worthy of a place in every Rose garden. Such are Prince Leon Hotschou- 
bey, or simply Prince Leon, which is a shorter and better name, and Paul 
Dupuy, two charming Roses. Alexandrina BachmeteflF, with its brilliant 
carmine flowers, is also a great acquisition, as is another Rose, with a tire- 
some Russian name, Prince Chipetouzikoff, with brilliant deep red flowers ; 
Adam Paul is too double and large to open well in our climate. Souvenir 
de Leveson Gower is a magnificent crimson and first-rate Rose, and Triomphe 
de Paris, very dark crimson, has also bloomed beautifully. Lady Stuart, 
of the same color, is not equal to Madame Rivers. Victoria has not opened 
well, and seems tender, as it suftered much by the winter. Archimede, 
Volta, and Ferdinand Deppe, are good rose-colored and pink Roses, but 
not distinct enough. Among Bourbon Roses, we have but one this season 
really worthy of attention, viz. La Quintinie ; this is most superb, its deep 
crimson flowers are of the most perfect shape ; but it has one fault, it is 
delicate in its habit, and requires the highest cultivation. Francois Herincq, 
also a new Rose of this class, is too" much like Prince Albert, and Surpasse 
Cornice de Seine et Marne. In Tea- scented Roses, we have but one really 
fine and distinct, viz. Gloire de Dijon ; in its foliage, habit, and shape, and 
size of its flowers, it is almost an exact resemblance of the Bourbon Rose, 
Souvenir de la Malmaison, and, like that fine Rose, it requires dry warm 
weather to open its flowers in perfection. Its perfume is tea-like and power- 
ful, and in color it is quite unique, being tinted with fawn, salmon, and rose, 
and difficult to describe. Auguste Yacher is also a new Tea Rose, perhaps 
too much like Noisette Ophirie in color and habit to be highly esteemed. It 
is long since we have had any new and good Noisette Roses ; but this sea- 
son a new variety called Augusta has been sent from America, which has 
bloomed in great perfection ; it is of the race of Solfaterre, and resembles 
it closely in habit; its flowers are, however, more double and globular, 
remarkably elegant in shape, and in the centre of its flower it is a little 
deeper in color. Another new Noisette Rose is Marie Charge, of the Ophirie 
class ; its flowers are larger, more brilliant in color than that well-known 
Rose, and its habit seems very vigorous and hardy. T. Rivers,
