COMTE DE EALLOUX ROSE. 
Rosa (liylridaj . 
Mr. Fitch’s admirable portrait will be a sufficient encomium 
on this beautiful Rose, which was raised by M. Trouillard, of 
Angers, a gentleman who has been singularly fortunate in ori¬ 
ginating some of the very finest seedling Roses known, at pre¬ 
sent, in cultivation. 
The Comte de Fcdloux Rose is a seedling obtained from the 
well-known and universally admired Hybrid Perpetual called 
Geant des Bat allies, which it very much resembles in shape. 
It has even still more brilliant flowers, and is in reality a very 
fine cupped variety, of a bright scarlet-crimson colour. The 
entire stock is now in the possession of Mr. Standish, of the 
Royal Nursery, Bagshot, who has, we are informed, purchased 
it, along with several other fine varieties, of M. Trouillard; 
and we are indebted to this gentleman for the specimens from 
which our drawing has been made. 
One of the most desirable qualities attributed to this new 
Rose is its remarkable floriferous habit. On two or three occa¬ 
sions small worked plants have been exhibited, bearing what 
under the circumstances were very fine flowers; and Mr. Standish 
describes the constant habit of the variety as being the most 
floriferous of any he has seen. “ No matter,” he observes, 
“ whether summer or winter, it never makes a shoot but there 
is sure to be a flower on the top of it. It could be made to bloom 
throughout the winter, and consequently mil be the best of all 
pot Roses for forcing.” This quite agrees with all we have seen 
of it. 
Though generally classed with the Hybrid Perpetual group,
