THE FLORIST* 
TOWN HOSES. 
BY MR. EDWARD DENYER. 
Having grown Roses largely for years, even under the hazy, 
smoky atmosphere of our great metropolis, I beg to hand you a list 
of varieties that will do well within three miles of town, hoping that 
it may prove of some service to my suburban neighbours. 
PROVENCE, OH CABBAGE ROSES. 
Aspasie, delicate blush. 
Blanchfleur, white, blush centre. 
Cabbage, red. 
Cristata, bright rose, globular. 
Duchesse d’Angouleme, rose, cupped. 
Dutch Provence, blush, scented, df. 
Glory of France, fine large, red, df. 
Globe, white hip, cupped. 
La Yolupte, vivid rose, large, cupped. 
Rose de Meux, red, df. 
Unique, white, df. 
Spongs, pale rose, df. 
Prune them to six or nine inches, 
taking care to thin out the old wood. 
Those marked df. will be found to bloom 
most abundantly as dwarf plants, the 
others will do well as standards : they 
are all very fragrant. 
GALLICA, OR FRENCH ROSES. 
Assemblage de Beaute, carmine. 
Belle Auguste, or Lee, pale blush.
