ROSE, PRINCESS MARY OE CAMBRIDGE. 
A very celebrated grower and raiser of Roses, M. Margottin, 
of Bourg-la-Reine, said to us some time ago that the blood of 
General Jacqueminot had so largely entered into the Roses which 
were now sent out every year, that he determined to hybridize 
dowers that had been brought out previous to its being raised, 
so as to avoid the great similarity and profusion of crimsons, 
light and dark, that are every year produced. Something of the 
same kind seems to have influenced M. Granger, the raiser of 
the Rose now figured, as it is a seedling raised from Duchess of 
Sutherland , crossed with Jules Margottin , and partakes appa¬ 
rently of the qualities of both parents. It is now in the hands 
of Messrs. Paul and Son, of the Old Nurseries, Cheshunt, by 
whom it will be let out in the spring of next year. 
The new Roses of last season have not been largely exhibited 
this year, and hence we have to look for the reports of growers 
as to their qualities; it is therefore with considerable pleasure 
we add here the observations of Mr. George Paul, jun., who 
has bloomed the new flowers in his own nursery“ We have 
Marechal Niel just blooming again in our rose-house, and 
another plant out-of-doors is just opening its flowers in spite 
of the rain which we have been having daily; it is undoubtedly 
the greatest addition made to Roses for the last three years, and 
cannot be too highly recommended.” This quite confirms our 
own view, as given when we published a figure of it some 
months ago. “ Next to the yellow,” Mr. Paul adds, “we should 
place Duchesse de Caylus , Duke of Wellington , Madame Boussett , 
Marguerite de St. Amand , Xavier Oliho , Madame Gustave 
Bonnet , and Monsieur Boncenne , an improvement of P. Camille 
de Bohan , in the first rank, and Achille Gonod , Madame Charles
