convinced that it was not Aurora ; and recommended Mr. Cant, 
that, if sent out, it should come before the public under some 
other name. Its history considered, none could be more ap¬ 
propriate than the one it has received, for it is a veritable 
foundling. Mr. Cant further stated that it does well budded 
on the Banksia , or the common Briar; but also, as most of the 
same class, on its own roots. The plant from which the blooms 
sent had been cut, was on a Briar against a south wall. 
The habit seems to approach more to the Noisettes, such as 
Cloth of Gold and others, the flowers standing nearly as erect 
above their foliage as that grand tea-scented Bose, Gloire de 
Dijon , and not having the failing of a great many (such as 
Eliza Sauvage and Madame William , to which it most nearly 
approaches) hanging down their heads when in bloom. The 
guard, or outer petals, are large, and of good substance. The 
shape quite globular, and the centre of the flower filled in with 
a large number of smaller petals, The colour is a rich light yel¬ 
low, something of the same shade as the cream of rich milk, 
becoming dark towards the centre, It is very free in flowering, 
the plant from which the Bose was cut, which Mr. Andrews 
has so faithfully pourtrayed, having had between three and 
four dozen blooms upon it. With these distinctive characte¬ 
ristics, it cannot fail to be a valuable acquisition to the rose- 
grower and to the public in general.
