Hardy Roses 
Marechal Niel 
ROSES, continued 
Marechal Niel. (C. N.) Deep yellow; 
very large, full globular form ; delightfully fra¬ 
grant, the finest of all yellow Roses. In the 
North this Rose is of a delicate constitution, 
and requires careful treatment to get good re¬ 
sults. In the South it is at home; a strong, 
vigorous grower, producing freely its magnifi¬ 
cent flowers at all seasons in great abundance. 
It should have the first place in every collec¬ 
tion. 
Margaret Dickson. (II. P.) Finely formed, 
pure waxy white flowers of immense size, some 
of them nearly as large as Paul Neyron. 
Marie Ducher. (T.) Generally described 
as “rich salmon-yellow, with fawn center; 
large, very full, somewhat flat; very double and 
sweet.” With us color varies from peach- 
blossom to light rose, suffused with sulphur- 
yellow, with reverse of petals silvery rose. 
Medium-sized, nicely formed flowers. A good 
grower and constant bloomer. 
Marie Guillot. (T.) Generally described 
as “pure snow-white, sometimes faintly tinged 
with pale yellow. Large, full and double.” On 
our grounds it is more apt to be pale yellow 
and often distinctly tinged with deep blush or 
light rose. A fine grower, with very pretty 
flowers. 
Marie Lambert. (T.) Pure white ; a seed¬ 
ling from Mad. Bravy, and even more vigorous; 
has been called the White Hermosa, which it 
resembles in form and freedom of bloom. 
Marie Van Houtte. (T.) Pale yellow, the 
edges of petals often lined with rose. Some¬ 
times both yellow and red Roses are to be seen 
on the same bush, but always beautiful flowers. 
One of the most satisfactory here. 
Marshall P. Wilder. (H. P.) Flowers very 
large, perfectly double, and of good substance; 
color bright cherry-red, shading to crimson. 
Plant a clean, healthy grower. 
Mary Washington. (C. T.) Small white 
flowers, borne in clusters. Fragrance of a 
musky flavor noticed in some of the Roses of 
44 ye olden time.” 
Merveille de Lyon. (H. P.) Flowers extra 
large, cupped form, full and regular, and very 
fragrant. Color ivory-white, delicately flushed 
with carmine. 
Mignonette. (Pol.) Large clusters of per¬ 
fectly formed miniature Roses ; pink, chang¬ 
ing to white. 
Mrs. Cleveland. (LI. P.) Medium to large; 
nicely formed flowers of a dark red or velvety 
crimson color. Delightfully fragrant. 
Mrs. George Paul. (Bour.) Large open 
flowers, like a camellia, with very bold, thick 
petals, perfectly arranged ; blush white, with 
rose peach shading; very distinct. 
Papa Gontier. (T.) A splendid crimson 
Rose. Buds of immense size and exceptional 
beauty. Flowers large, bold and splendid sub¬ 
stance. A fine variety. 
Paul Neyron. (LI. P.) Deep rose ; very 
full, somewhat fragrant, free-blooming; the 
largest variety known. A very desirable gar¬ 
den Rose. 
Perfection des Blanches. (H. N.) Pure 
white flowers, full and double, very fine ; a 
constant bloomer
