ON GROUPING ROSES FOR THE FLOWER GARDEN. 
not to affect it in the least ; I have seen it at this season, and as late as the middle of November, a sheet of 
dazzling bloom. Very beautiful and good. 
12. George Cuvier. — Eosy crimson, fine shape, expands its blooms freely, a moderate grower. Distinct and 
superb. 
13. Grand Capitaine. — Velvety fiery scarlet, very briUiant; opens its flowers well both in summer and 
autimm ; not very double ; dwarf habit, well adapted for a small bed, where the intense brUliancy of its flowers 
AviU show to advantage. One of the most distinct of Eoses. 
14. Pierre de St. Ci/r. — Glossy rose, fine large flower, expands well and blooms profusely ; a most robust 
grower. "WUl form a splendid clump to contrast with any of the strong growing Hybrid Perpetuals. A superb 
Eose. 
15. Queen. — Fawn-eoloiu' shaded with salmon, very sweet scented. One of the first and last in bloom, which 
invariably expanding its flowers well, which appear in profusion. Eather dwarf habit, but wiU form a lovely 
small clump. Distinct and beautiful. 
16. Soiwliet. — Purplish carmine, large flower and a good dark variety ; indeed, one of the best of this class for 
the pui-pose ; moderate grower, expanding its blooms with freedom. Superb. 
17. Souvenir de la Mahnaisou. — White with fawn centre, very large and magnificent, flowering freely through 
the summer and autumn, strong grower. This will make a gorgeous clump, in contrast mth such Eoses as 
Baronue Prevost, La Eeine, &c. 
CHINA ROSES. 
18. Archduke Charles. — Light rose changing to brilliant crimson, a profuse bloomer, moderate grower. One 
of the best changeable Eoses. Unique. 
19. Clara Si/lvain. — Pm-e white, a superb flower, blooming freely from June tiU the end of October ; moderate 
grower, suited for a small bed, and the best white for the pui'pose. Beautiful. 
20. Euf/ene Beanharimis. — Beautiful bright lake, a free bloomer thi-ough the summer and autumn. One of the 
hardiest Eoses in this class, as well as one of the best dark varieties, fi'ee grower, splendid in a small clump. A 
charming variety. 
21. Mrs. Bosanquet. — Creamy white ; I have heard amateiu's call this " the Wax Eose," from its loveliness ; 
a profuse bloomer from June to November, moderate grower. This Eose appeal's intermediate between the 
Chinese and what are called Bom'bons. WUl form a small clump. If possible more unique and beautiful than 
any other variety. A truly splendid Eose. 
TEA-SCENTED EOSES. 
22. Adam. — Eosy blush, very large and magnificent, with beautiful cameUia-Kke petals, blooms freely, 
moderate grower, rather tender, and needs slight protection in winter. Suitable for a small mass. Very fine. 
23. Comte de JParis. — Creamy blush, a large fine flower, blooming abimdantly, growth moderate. A very 
desii'able variety, forming, in a bed, a lovely mass. Superb and very distinct. 
21. DevoiiicHsis, — Creamy white, buff centre. Shall I say the most beautiful of Eoses } It has now become 
so well knoAvn as scarcely to need description. Fragrant as well as beautiful. A climip of this is one of the 
loveliest objects in a flower garden. 
25. Misa Saavage. — Cream with deep orange centi-e, profuse bloomer, and the best yellow for a small bed. 
Dwarf, delicate habit, requh-ing, and well deserving, a little protection in winter. An extremely lovely flower. 
26. Saf ratio. — Deep fawn, veiy lovely in the bud, a free flowerer, and a moderately strong grower as a Tea- 
scented Eose. Being more hardy than EHsa Sauvage, where that vaiiety is considered tender, or the clump large, 
this should be used. A very unique and beautiful Eose. 
NOISETTE EOSES. 
27. Aimee Viiert. — Pure white, blooming in immense clusters, very showy. There being a scarcity of good 
white Autumnal Eoses, this wiU be found useful to group in contrast with the strong growing Bom'bons and 
Perpetuals, in large chmips ; using Clara Sylvain, with more dwarf varieties, in smaller beds. 
28. Narcisse. — Pale lemon ; a beautiful flower, blooming in abimdance. This is a Tea-scented Noisette, of 
moderate groAvth, and rather tender, requiring slight protection. Will form a beautiful small clump. Avery fii'st- 
rate Eose. 
29. Nc plus Ultra. — Creamy white, fragrant, dwarf habit, blooming in large clusters. Like Narcisse, a Tea- 
scented Noisette, but more hardy than that vai'iety. Will contrast admii'ably -with any of the dwarf dark varieties, 
such as Grand Capitaine. A very desirable and beautiful Eose. 
30. Ophirie. — Bright gold and salmon, a strong grower, blooming in rich abvmdanoe from the early summer 
until the approach of frost ; even the wet and damp of autumn appear only to give a deeper tint to its lovely 
flowers. Indispensable, from its colour, for a large clump where this coloiur is wanting. The other yellows, 
which are free bloomers, are of too delicate gro'wth, and only adapted for small beds. Pegged over a large cliunp, 
which it should be, what an unique mass it forms in the flower garden ! Fragrant and very distinct. 
This list -will be found ample ft-om -which to select. The varieties named are all free bloomers, and of 
first-rate excellence, fio-wering until arrested by the approach of frost. If grown in masses in the 
flower garden, planting but one variety in a bed, and well contrasting the colours, they will be found
