We do not pretend that those we here men- 
tion, and which comprise about a tenth of the 
number in popular catalogues, are all good, — 
far from it. Some of the families have hardly 
a good Rose among them ; but by reducing the 
number from which a young rose-grower has 
to select, we have greatly lessened the diffi- 
culty of choosing, because they may almost 
take from one to the whole of any of the se- 
lections, and be satisfied they have some of 
the best. But there are some families better 
than others. 
We have observed, in a recent publication, 
some characteristics of the Rose, given by a 
tolerably good though rather prejudiced autho- 
rity, Mr. Rivers, junior, of Sawbridge worth. 
He mentions, however, a few which are re- 
markable for peculiar properties, and they 
show at once the folly of continuing the present 
divisions, or rather, of attempting to keep up 
the present family distinctions. He has given 
six of the largest, six of the strongest, six of 
the brightest, six of the sweetest, six of the 
earliest small, six of the earliest large, six of 
the most brilliant, six of the latest, and six of 
the finest shaped.

pink ; William Jesse, light crimson tinged 
with lilac ; Souvenir de la Malmaison, pale- 
flesh tinted with fawn ; Calypso, pale rose ;
