SATURDAY, AUGUST i 3 #A, 1892. 
|| 7 he Rose in Autumn.— Practically the 
^ Rose exhibition season is over. Like 
to that of Dahlias and Chrysanthemums 
it is all too short an one, and especiall)' like 
to the latter flower we get so many of Rose 
shows crowded into some three or four 
weeks that it is almost a relief when they 
are all over. But we could do very well 
with a few autumn Rose shows. Why, 
with such a flower as the Rose is, so long 
enduring, and so abundantly blooming, as 
is often the case in the autumn, it is not 
possible to make up a few exhibitions it is 
hard to understand. Certainly Roses are 
as beautiful in September as at any time 
of the year, only they are not so large. 
Still we should encourage their free pro¬ 
duction in the autumn so far as possible, 
because it is the aftermath or second crop 
of flowers, when they are often so very 
valuable. 
We find opinions to differ very much as 
to the passing Rose season. Some growers 
complain, some do the reverse. Probably 
we never had a season that suited every¬ 
one ; but at least we can say of the passing 
one that it has produced for us some of 
the most beautiful, if not the finest, flowers 
ever seen. We have not had any very 
sensational novelties introduced, indeed it 
must now be a wonder that excels the best 
of the established sorts. We would not 
say that absolute perfection in Rose blooms 
has been reached, but we have got pretty 
near to it. Still, perfection as a term of 
excellence signifies in some way a defined 
standard of excellence, and we are far from 
wishing to see all Roses brought to one 
special standard, because diverse forms if 
allied to quality are as pleasing as are 
diverse shades of colour. There ought to be 
specially a good autumn bloom on Roses 
this season, because fine growths have 
resulted from the abundant rains of the
