and we are very glad to learn that Mr. Ward, the raiser of John 
Hopper, has been endeavouring to introduce them amongst the 
hybrid perpetuals. A yellow dower in that class, w T ith the 
hardiness that belongs to them, would be indeed an acquisi¬ 
tion ; for while no Rose is hardier than Gloire cle Dijon , we 
very much doubt whether it ought to be reckoned amongst 
the Tea-scented Roses, the habit of its growth and general ap¬ 
pearance rather indicating it to be of Noisette origin. 
We observe that while upwards of sixty new hybrid perpe¬ 
tuals are announced for this autumn, only three new Tea are sent 
out, one of which is said to be very hardy, but the value of 
this character depends very much on the part of France in 
which it was raised : many Roses which will stand the weather 
well in the southern part of the kingdom being anything but 
hardy when grown about Paris, where the winters are as severe 
as (or severer than) our own.
