COMPANION TO THE FLORAL MAGAZINE. 
following are considered the most successful, Margottin, Lacharme, Por- 
temer, Marest, Yerdier, Levesque, and Guillot; and we may therefore hope 
that the Roses announced by them this season are likely to be amongst 
the most desirable novelties. From the lists published in France, then, 
we select the following, as likely to be meritorious ; we saw but two of 
them in a visit we paid to Paris in July last. 
Bourbons. 
Emotion [Guillot ) : plant vigorous, flower pretty full, and perfect in form ; 
if in the style of Catherine Guillot , by the same raiser, it will be 
good. 
Louise Margottin [Margottin) : habit good, flowers large and full, of fine 
shape; very delicate Rose, in the style of Louise Odier , of which it is 
a seedling. We saw this in bloom in M. Margottiids garden. 
Hybrid Perpetuals. 
Alfred de Rougemont [Lacharme) : vigorous habit, flower large, full, and 
of good shape, lively red. 
Due de Bassano (.Portemer ) : very fine habit, flower large, full, cupped, 
dark velvety crimson. 
V 
Jean Goujon [.Margottin ) : plant vigorous, flower very large, well made, 
fine clear red. 
Le Baron de Rothschild [Guillot fils) : plant very vigorous, flowers very 
dark red crimson, shaded wite violet. 
Le Rhone [Guillot fils) : plant robust, flowers large and full, vermilion 
red. 
U Eclat ante [Guillot fils) : plant very vigorous, flower medium size, black¬ 
ish red. 
Madame Helper [Portemer fils) : plant vigorous, flower large, blackish- 
red. 
Madame Freesman [Guillot pere) : habit of plant very vigorous, flower 
medium size, full, yellowish-white. 
Madame William Paul [Ch .. Verdier fils) : very vigorous, flower medium 
size, very brilliant, somewhat in the way of Margottin* s Souvenir de 
Comte Cavour. We saw blooms cf this in Paris in July, and although 
too late, vet they were very fine. 
William Paid [Guillot pere) : vigorous, flower medium-sized, bright 
crimson-red. 
Besides the above, Levesque, whose catalogue we have not seen, 
announces six:— Due d’Anjou, Gustave Rousseau , President Lincoln, 
Madame Petit , Duchesse de Polignac, and Comte de Bourges. As Due 
de Rohan and Maurice Ber.nhardin were sent out bv him last year, we 
may expect something good from these six. These very likely then will 
form the cream of the fifty or sixty new Roses, and we shall anxiously 
watch the result to see whether it corresponds with our anticipations.
