as a rnle to take a longer time than the new H.P.’s in coming 
into general caltivation. For instance, taking the two varieties 
sent out in 1887, Madame Hoste (No. 15), and Ethel Brownlow 
(No. 20), it is only at this year’s show that either of these fine Teas 
has reached double figures. Ernest Metz (No. 7), first distributed 
in 1888, is, however, an honourable exception to this rule, having 
been staged twelve times at the 1892 exhibition, and as many as 
thirty times in 1893. In fact, there were this year only seven 
other varieties more frequently shown in the prize stands. The 
year 1889 finds two representatives ; of these Souvenir de S. A. 
Prince, a pure white sport from Souvenir d’un Ami, takes for the 
first time a good place in the analysis, standing now at No. 10, 
between Mar^chal Niel and Madame de Watteville. Cleopatra of 
the same year does not seem to have been at all favoured by the 
past season, having fallen since last year from No. 17 to No. 24. 
So fine and certain a flower is, however, pretty sure to makes its 
mark sooner or later, notwithstanding the slender habit of growth 
of the plant. 
Although such a bad year for Roses generally, the summer 
of 1893 seems to have suited admirably both of the varieties 
which, in my opinion, are the choicest gems of the two sections 
into which this analysis is divided. I refer to Horace Yernet, 
the finest of the dark H.P.’s, and to Comtesse de Nadaillac, the 
most exquisitely tinted of all the Teas. This is certainly 
remarkable, as neither Rose can be regarded as by any means a 
strong grower. 
The sad loss the Rose world has recently sustained in the death 
of that champion raiser of Tea Roses, Monsieur J. B. Guillot, 
causes us to look down the two lists and note the many priceless 
treasures for which we are indebted to the Guillot family. Among 
the Hybrid Perpetuals we find La France, Horace Yernet, Comtesse 
d’Oxford, Senateur Yaisse, and Monsieur Noman ; and in the table 
of Tea Roses Catherine Mermet, the premier flower ; Comtesse de 
Nadaillac, only second on the list, and when at its best second to 
none ; Ernest Metz, the rapidly rising favourite ; Madame de 
Watteville, the lovely “ butterfly Tea ; ” Madame Cusin, the most 
distinct and charming of the red Teas ; Madame Hoste, the most 
reliable of the yellows ; Hon. Edith Gifford, the best all-round 
Tea ; Madame Bravy, the oldest of the Guillot series ; Etoile de 
Lyon, and Madame H. Jamain. Surely a matchless record this ! 
At the end of this paper will also be found the names of six 
beautiful “ garden Roses,” sent out by Guillot during the last ten 
years. Before closing the analysis it is once more my pleasing 
duty to express my best thanks to those kind friends who assisted 
me in taking down the names of the Roses in the winning 
stands. 
To those who have but little experience in Rose culture the 
following se’ect lists may, I trust, prove of service, as I have 
endeavoured to include in them only choice varieties of good 
growth and constitution.
