Rational Rose Show at the Crystal 
9 Palace. —The great southern Rose 
show held at the Crystal Palace is again 
past history; and although neither better 
nor worse than many that have gone before, 
many connoisseurs at the Palace on Satur¬ 
day last were of opinion it was scarcely 
equal to that of last year. Rosarians could 
not fully explain the matter seeing that last 
year there were fully as many unfavourable 
conditions for successful Rose culture as 
there have been this season. On the whole, 
however, there was little about which to 
grumble ; for it was really a fine show 
with many attractions for those who cared 
to examine it in detail. Some of the 
sections, notably the garden Roses, were 
finer and more extensively represented than 
we have ever seen them on any previous 
occasion. The general public was certainly 
delighted with all classes of Roses, but 
with none more than the garden Roses. 
Some of the visitors were delighted to see 
the blooms so fresh, and wanted to know 
how many days the show had been open, 
because they did not expect to see such 
freshness in Roses about London. There 
must have been some oversight in this re- 
mark seeing that most of the Roses were 
really grown in the country, and remote 
from all influences of the London smoke and 
other atmospheric conditions. 
The southern growers have had all their 
own way on this occasion, the lateness of 
the season and its influence on vegetation 
generally enabling them to bring up blooms 
of their best. There was considerable dis¬ 
parity in the size of the blooms even in the 
case of those taking leading awards ; but 
-where they lacked in size their freshness
