We cannot claim for Lord Clyde the honours which have 
been accorded to John Hopper and Beauty of Waltham ., nor do 
we think that it is equal in quality to those two Roses. In 
the earlier part of the season it is very full; the colour, a rich 
crimson abundantly suffused with a plum-coloured hue, not un¬ 
like some of the deeper-coloured Bourbons, such as Vorace and 
Georye Peabody; while in the autumn it approaches very much 
in appearance to Due de Cazes , the petals being large and 
highly coloured; and we believe that it will be a very useful 
Bose, either in the garden or the stand. The success which 
has thus in several instances been achieved by English-raised 
seedlings is inducing many others to try the same hitherto un¬ 
worked held, and we shall hope to from time to time chronicle 
the results attained.
