SELECT ROSES, AND THEIR MANAGEMENT. 
8. La Ville de Londres, pale bright rose. 
9. Pompone de Laqueue, blush, shaded 
pale rose. 
10. Princess Clementine, pure white. 
11. Pauline Garcia, delicate straw-colour. 
12. Eose Devigne, pale pinkish flesh. 
Nos. 1, 2, 6, 9, and 10, are very fine shaped, 
very double, and first-rate show roses. For 
delicacy of colour, and constancy of flowering, 
2 is hardly equalled by any other rose ; 5 and 
8 have very large flowers ; 10 is an early rose 
with large flowers ; 9 has small neat flowers ; 
12 is a very robust grower, and wants but 
little pruning ; 5 requires support while in 
bloom, as the shoots are not strong enough 
to bear the weight of the flowers ; 8 and 
10 are strong growing kinds, and with 5 and 
12 make large heads. All the rest make very 
nice heads of neat growth, suitable for standards 
or dwarfs. The flowers are generally erect 
and nicely scented.

Nos. 1 to 13 are very double flowers, Qf 
most perfect shape and good size, without 
being too large. They are all fit to exhibit 
in ever so small a collection. For six of the 
best take Nos. 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10. 14, 
15, and 16, very distinctly spotted roses, are 
worth growing as curiosities ; 1 6 has very 
small flowers, hardly so large as a Ranunculus ; 
17 and 18 are good distinct striped roses ; 19 
is very singular and distinct ; 20 and 22 are 
of the old Tuscany habit and shape ; 20 is 
some seasons very vivid ; 22 is very rich, and 
when particularly fine is almost black ; 21 is a 
very brilliant-coloured flower, and double ; 
23 is large, firm-petalled, like the petals of a 
fine Camellia, the flower is very large and 
vivid, but only half double, on the tree it is 
very conspicuous ; 24 is one of the largest of 
roses, very double, and occasionally of a good 
shape. Except No. 24, which is a stiff grower, 
and not much branched, all the rest are 
adapted for standards or dwarfs. 
Damask Roses. 
1. Coralie, white, rosy centre. 
2. Deese Flore, white, blush centre. 
3. Chateaubriand, cherry red. 
4. La Fiancee, creamy white, flesh-coloured 
centre. 
5. La Ville de Bruxelles, bright rose. 
6. Madame Hardy, pure white. 
7. Pompone Toussaint, deep lilac rose. 
8. Semiramis, rose, fawn-coloured centre. 
Nos. 3, 5, and 6, are very double, first-rate 
show roses ; 1, 4, and 8, are rather slender 
growing ones, and require support while in 
flower ; 2 has small flowers, and is a most 
lovely little gem ; 5 is a very robust grower, 
with fine shining leaves ; 7 is a small flower 
of perfect shape ; 8 is one of the most taking 
colours among roses. 2 and 7 are only fit for 
dwarfs or low standards. Except 5, these 
make handsome standards or dwarfs ; all are 
finely scented. 
Rosa Alba. 
1. Felicite Parmentier, French white, rosy- 
pink centre. 
2. La Seduisante, rosy blush. 
3. Madame Campan, deep rose, very dis- 
tinctly spotted with white. 
4. Madame Audot, pale flesh. 
5. Princesse de Lamballe, pure white. 
6. Queen of Denmark, blush. 
The above class partakes of the characters 
of the old maiden's blush, both in the colour of 
the wood, leaves, and scent. Nos. 1, 2, and 
6 are first-rate show roses ; 3 is a good spotted 
rose ; 4 is a very robust habit ; 5 has small 
flowers, in fine clusters, and early. All but 
No. 4 make handsome standards, or dwarfs. 
The Hybrid Provence, Gallica, Damask, 
and Rosa alba, require the same mode of 
pruning. From four to six eyes should be 
left on the young wood.
