J|Voses in 1896.—The Roses have been 
having their annual outing, and the 
shows have been shifting their ground from 
south to north according to the calendar, 
but the season would seem to have been 
flitting slightly ahead of them all the time. 
Under the circumstances the best Roses 
have come southward to meet the advanc¬ 
ing tide of shows. The winter of 1894-95 
was so severe as to cut up Roses by the 
thousand. The succeedingHvinter of 1895-96 
was as mild as the previous one was severe, 
so that nursery and private stock had time 
to recuperate. Owing to the' exceedingly 
mild spring, the season, therefore, com¬ 
menced under very favourable auspices; 
but expectations gradually became damped 
as drought set in and aphides, the Rose 
grub and other vermin began to play havoc 
with the young foliage and flower buds at a 
greater rate than cultivators could cope 
with them. The long continued east winds 
have bad a trying and dessicating effect 
upon many kinds of vegetation as well as 
Roses ; and it gradually became a foregone 
conclusion as to its being a successful and 
record breaking season for the favourite 
flower. A widely prevalent idea is that 
Roses generally have been much below the
