April.'] HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES. 63 
D' Angers, delicate rose, large size, compact and double. 
Du Iloi, or Lee's crimson perpetual, bright red, cupped shape, 
perfectly double, and exquisitely scented : in warm 
dry weather, this rose is apt to become much lighter 
in colour. 
Grande et Belle, or Monst reuse rose, very large, cupped and

Jean Hachette (of the English), delicate pink, extremely

Magadore, very dark crimson, perfect form. 
Oliver de Serres, dark rose with a blush edge, very distinct. 
Palmyra, rosy pink. 
Queen of Perpetuals, or Palotte picotee, pale blush, cupped

a constant and free bloomer. 
Four seasons, pale rose, cupped and double. 
White four seasons, nearly white, expanded and double; but 
rarely blooms oftener than once in the season.

when in bud is very handsome ; but the flower of

a true perpetual. It is one of those floricultural 
misnomers expressing what the public would wish it 
to be, and not what it actually is. 
HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES. 
It is but, comparatively, yesterday since this tribe was 
brought into existence ; it is now the leading family of 
hardy Roses, and will continue to be for ages to come. We 
may expect in it every variety of colour, from pure white to 
velvet crimson, and with a mixture of spotted, striped, and, 
may be, a touch of yellow. What we have said on the cul- 
ture of Perpetual Roses will equally apply here, this tribe 
having the advantage of rapidity of growth — more diversity 
of colour — a greater profusion of bloom, and is propagated 
with considerable facility by layers, or cuttings, or the com-
