scarlet. H.C. Brennus, • Chenedole, Lacepede. Allard, Jacqueminot, 
Lamoriciere, Lady Stuart, George the Fourth, Bauffremont, Madeleine ; 
H.B. Coupe d’Hebe (the Queen of Summer Boses), Perras, Ricaut; 
R.A. Legras, Marsilly; D. Bruxelles, Zoutman; Briar, Harrisonii; 
my two other yellow Roses are Cloth of Gold and Solfaterre, both 
Noisettes. If the first is best formed, still Solfaterre excels it in sweet 
scent, abundance of bloom, and easiness of growth. She brought the 
whole of 147 clusters, spoken of in my first article, to perfection, and 
bloomed a second series in the fall. Jaune Desprez, another tea- 
scented Noisette, very pretty, and these are my aromatics, and will 
survive many Noisettes—it may be even Augusta and Rennes ; Jaune 
Desprez is in colour fawn and yellow ; Solfaterre is white and sulphur ; 
and both have the blooming qualities of a China and the vigorous 
growth of a Rambler, Lamarque is a finer shape, and the finest scent 
I know, but she is delicate. 
H.P. (1st) Roses which I have bloomed. Bachmetoff, Auguste Mie, 
Laray, Hallez, Prevost, C. de Sansalles, Rougemont, Nanteuil, Du- 
chatel, Juillard, Arnal, Sutherland, D. de Orleans, Batailles, Brea, 
General Jacqueminot, Inermis, Lafitte, Jules Margottin, La Reine, 
Carmel, Lion des Combats, Buonaparte, Aimee, Andry, Domage, 
Theocrite, Jacques, Laffay (8), M. Lamoriciere, Masson, Trudeaux, 
Elliott, Mrs. Rivers, Dupuy, P. Leon (3), Pius IX., Chipetouzikoff, 
Reine des Fleurs, Leveson Gower, Sidonie (the beauty of a pink satin 
crumple), W. Griffiths, W. Jesse, Sir J. Franklin, Prince Albert (H.P.) 
Bossiere, Mouchelet. 
Roses which I have not yet bloomed:—Arthur de Sansalles, 
Bacchus, Beranger, Vaillant, Bedeau, Pelissier, Simpson, Gloire de la 
France, Gustave Coraux, Rebbreira, M. Schmidt, Decaisne, Lady 
Stuart, St. Denis, Raglan (2), Odier (2), % Peyronnet, Cambaceres,

Phelip, Place, Martell, Vidot, M. Reignier, Panache d’Orleans, Lady 
Franklin (Tiley’s), Angleterre, Avranches, Triomphe de PExposition, 
Triomphe de Paris, Victor Trouillard, Fremion, Marx. 
Bourbons, first tried . Acidalie, Dupetit Thouars, Bouquet de Flore, 
Malmaison, Grenadier, Menoux, Vorace, Paul Joseph, Splendens. I 
doubt if there are two better in any class for all purposes—shape, 
colour, blooming early and late, dwarf or standard—than the two first; 
the third is fine wooded, the fourth must be petted much—very fine. 
Untried: Henrique, Adelaide Bougere, Aurore de Guide, Lecoq, 
Paxton, Reveil, P. Albert; the second, third, and last badly wooded. 
Tea, on Dog Roses, both untried: Devoniensis, Gloire de Dijon. The 
best wooded Roses sent me this year are Domage, Angleterre, Triomphe 
de l’Exposition, M„ Reignier, M. des Cambaceres, Jules Margottin, and 
Prince Leon. Independent of flowers the wood alone will make them 
survive thousands and thousands of new ones. I have bought on dwarf 
Manetti stocks, wonderfully vigorous, Victoria (Paul’s), Buonaparte, 
Laffay, Trottaire, D. of Norfolk. Will no one bud on Manetti Castel- 
lane, Naomi, Grand Capitaine, Paul Joseph, and Comte d’Eu ? On 
Dog Roses they will do nothing. The three last are not yet surpassed 
in their colours. La Reine may be bloomed well thus : Plant in deep
