place in popular favour. The exquisite forms of such Roses as 
Coupe d'Hebe and Charles Lawson are now equalled by Comtesse 
de Cl tab rill and and Madame Vidot , the glowing colours of Paul 
Bicaut and Brennus , are not more brilliant than Gloire de 
Santhenay and Jules Margottin; and although there are still a 
few’ Roses whose peculiar colours and shapes are as yet unap¬ 
proached, such as Boula de Nanteuil and Kean , yet we may 
hope ere long to see even these matched in this class. We 
have nearly, too, approached a white in Mademoiselle Bonnaire; 
and in “ Reynolds Hole ” we have as lively and bright a pink 
as is to be found in the whole range of Summer Roses. 
With but a few exceptions, all the new Roses come from 
France (a few have lately been introduced from America; and 
Bevoniensis and one or two others are of English origin). 
The subject of the present Plate was raised by M. Trouillard, 
the intelligent foreman of M. Le Roy, of Angers, and from him 
it has passed into the hands of Mr. Standish, who has named it 
in compliment to a gentleman who, in originating the National 
Rose Show, has perhaps done more for the popularity of the 
Queen of Flowers than any one living. The habit of the plant 
is most vigorous, the shoots being very strong, and the blooms 
well thrown up above the foliage. The shape is exquisite, and 
the petals are of great substance and size, and consequently, 
unlike many of its congeners, it does not fade off when out for 
a day or two; but, on the contrary, acquires deeper brilliancy 
of colour, which is a very lively pink. Mr. Standish purposes 
sending it out next May, together with some other excellent 
varieties, the stock of which is in his hands. 
Amongst the new Roses of the year, we think Madame Fur - 
tado , General Washington , Bug de Gazes , Triomphe J Amiens, 
and HEnfant Trouve, are likely to prove valuable additions to 
the Rose-garden.
