April.] PERPETUAL ROSES. 61 
Violet cle Belgique, dark violet crimson, very profuse and 
perfect. 
Watts' Celestial, Celestial Wells' Cahbage China, Flora per- 
fecta, &c. (it is known under all these names), delicate 
rose, petals finely cupped, flower rather flat, is a free 
grower, and very profuse of bloom. 
Wellington (Lee's), rich purple crimson, flower beautifully 
formed ; globular and very double. The first view of 
it is similar to Bizarre cle la Chine; but it is very 
distinct in growth, and the colour fades much sooner 
than in the latter rose, and, indeed, is never so bright. 
William the Fourth, blush red, extremely large, very perfect 
form, and is unquestionably a hybrid from the Cab- 
bage Provins, and makes an excellent standard or 
tea rose. 
HYBRID ROSES THAT ARE STRIPED, SPOTTED, OR 
MARBLED. 
Abbe Berleso, beautiful crimson, spotted with violet, and of 
the most perfect form. 
Camaieu, delicate rose, with lilac stripes, large and double. 
Prince de Chimay, entirely new, crimson purple, beautifully 
marbled with rose, large, and very perfect. 
Sandeur, ftandcur Fanachee, of the French, and King of 
Hybrids of the English, bright rose colour, beautifully 
spotted and striped with white, very double, and of 
perfect form — luxuriant in growth, and the shoots 
must never be shortened — we have seen it several 
years in perfect bloom. 
PERPETUAL ROSES. 
This once admired division of the Rose is now nearly 
superseded by the Hybrid Perpetual, a tribe that originated 
between it and the Bourbon. It was not known in Europe 
till about 1817, except in the red and white four seasons, 
roses, which have, no doubt, contributed a large portion of 
their*" sweet assistance;" for in many of them the powerful 
and agreeable fragrance of these two old roses is very evident.
