ored and red flowers simply.

petals and yellow eye. Very fine.

l^OSES. 
HYBRID PERPETUAL OR HYBRID REMONTANT. 
Hybrid or Remontant Roses are perfectly hardy, free and constant bloomers, of all 
shades of colors from very dark to perfectly white. 
To obtain the most satisfactory results, they should be planted in rich, deep, well 
drained soil, and severely pruned in early Spring, before the buds start. 
Achille Gonod — Dark carmine red ; very large, full and bold flower. 
Alfred Colomb— Bright carmine red; clear color, large, deeply built form ; exceedingly 
tine. 
Anna de Diesbach — Carmine ; a beautiful shade, moderately full and very large. 
Augusta Mie— Clear, rosy pink ; very large and finely cupped ; vigorous, fine. 
Baron de Bonstetten — Rich, velvety maroon ; large, full. A splendid sort though a 
shy bloomer in Autumn. 
Barronne de Maynard — Pure white, medium-sized flowers ; good form ; very double 
and one of the most persistent of bloomers. 
Beauty of Waltham — Almost full ; beautiful, bright cherry color. 
Baronne Prevost — Deep rose ; very large and full ; a vigorous grower and abundant 
bloomer ; one of the oldest and finest of this class. 
Belle of Normandy — Silver rose color ; large, full, and globular in form. Extra line. 
Baroness Rothschild — Light pink, cupped form, very symmetrical, without fragrance, 
very beautiful ; a moderate grower only. 
Climbing Jules Margottin— Carmine rose, lightened with pink ; full flowers of medium 
size, very pretty in bud. This is a decided acquisition ; the flowers are the same as 
in the old variety, except that they are a little smaller, and quite as freely produced; 
the growth is more vigorous. 
Countess de Serenye— A seedling from La Heine, but shows much of the Jules ilar- 
gottin character. Silvery pink, often mottled ; full, finely shaped, globular flowers, 
of medium size ; wood light green, foliage darker, thoriis red ; slightly fragrant ; 
very distinct ; not always reliable about opening, but a very free bloomer, and well 
worthy a place in a small collection; decidedly one of the finest Autumnal roses, and 
also one of the most beautiful for forcing.
