BOSE, LOBD CLYDE. 
Rosa Jiybricla , var. 
Frequent allusion has been made in the reports of the flower 
shows held during the present season to English-raised Eoses, 
and amongst others to one raised by Messrs. Paul and Son, of 
Cheshunt, named Lord Clyde , which we now have the pleasure 
of figuring, believing that, although not what is termed a 
florist’s flower, it will be found a useful and hardy addition to 
the class of hybrid perpetuals. 
We are informed by Mr. George Paul, jun., that it was in 
the same batch of seedlings from which Beauty of Waltham 
was taken, and that, in the distribution of the stock, it with 
another good Eose, Lord Canning , fell to their share. Being 
thus of English origin, it is likely to prove of a good constitu¬ 
tion; and as it was exhibited in good condition on the 10th of 
September at Kensington, it is also likely to be a good au¬ 
tumnal bloomer. 
The Eose shows of the present season have evidenced the in¬ 
creased and increasing interest taken in the culture of this uni- 
versal favourite, justly designated the “ Queen of Flowersand, 
although a large number of the Eoses introduced last autumn 
from France have proved (as is generally the case) worthless, 
vet we believe some valuable additions have been made. We 
J 
may mention, amongst hybrid perpetuals, Frangois Lacharme , 
Maurice Bernhardin , I)uc de Bohan , Souvenir de Comte Cavour , 
La Brillante , and Olivier Delhomme , as likely to be general fa 
vourites; and amongst tea-scented Eoses, Comtesse Ouvarojf 
and Gloire de Bordeaux —the latter a seedling from Gloire de 
Dijon —promise well. Some of them have already been exhi¬ 
bited in good condition, and we believe another season will 
evidence their high character.
