The meeting on Tuesday last was practically the 
Rose show of the Royal Horticultural Society, in 
conjunction with the National Rose Society. Other 
subjects were confined to new plants for certificates. 
The Roses were very fine indeed, and drew a large 
concourse of people, so that the hall at times was 
quite crowded. 
Orchids. — Sir Frederick Wigan, Bart, (grower, 
Mr. W. H. Young), Clare Lawn, East Sheen, 
exhibited Cattleya Mendelii albescens and C. gas- 
kelliana alba, two handsome white flowered varie¬ 
ties. The latter carried nine flowers on three spikes, 
and was accorded a Cultural Commendation.

of interesting as well as showy Orchids. Very 
noticeable and attractive were Renanthera imschoot-

The flowers of Renanthera were compared to an 
insect by visitors.

well-flowered plants of Cattleya Warneri and C. 
Mossiae. 
Roses in Competition. —In Class I. for twenty- 
four single trusses some very good blooms were put 
on the boards. Messrs. B. Cant & Sons, Colchester, 
were successful in carrying off the first prize with 
blooms of remarkable texture; the second prize 
went to Mesrs. D. Prior & Sod, Colchester. There 
were several other well-known Rose growers exhibit¬ 
ing in this class, but as only two prizes were offered 
good collections had to go without any award, but if 
praise from the visitors could be any reconciliation 
they did not lack that. 
In Class II. for eighteen single trusses, O. G. 
Orpen, Esq., was first with some very beautiful and 
well grown varieties, which included such show 
favourites as Mdme. de Watteville, The Bride, Kil- 
larney, Her Majesty, Ulrich Brunner, and Maman 
Cochet. The Rev. J. H. Pemberton, Havering- 
Atte-Bower, Romford, brought a very showy and 
well grown collection of blooms, which well deserved 
the place of second, which they attained. There 
were seven good deep-coloured ones, such as Victor 
Hugo, A. K.Williams, Charles Lefebvre, and Comte 
Raimbaud. 
In Class III., Mr. Charles Turner, Royal Nur¬ 
series, Slough, was first with some exquisite blooms, 
amongst which we noticed Prince Arthur, Charles 
Lefebvre, Mr. J. Laing, Gustave Piganeau, and 
Maman Cochet. 
Class IV. drew a large number of exhibits all of a 
very high standard, and showed what amateurs can 
do in the way of Rose growing. The first prize 
went to T. Halstead, Esq., Reigate, and the second 
to F. Wellesby, Esq., Woking. It must have been 
a difficult matter to select the two best out of such a 
close lot. 
In Class V. for six distinct, single trusses, G. H. 
Baxter, Esq., Brentwood, took the lead, closely 
followed for second place by J. Thompson, Esq., 
Bounds Green, N. This class attracted no less than 
seven exhibits. 
For nine single trusses of any one variety, Mrs. 
Haywood, Reigate, staged Her Majesty, and received 
first prize for it. The Rev. J. H. Pemberton was 
second with some symmetrical and well coloured 
blooms of A. K. Williams. 
In Class VII., J. Bateman, Esq., received premier 
honours for six fine blooms of Marchioness of Lon¬ 
donderry. The Rev. F. Page Roberts, Sevenoaks, 
was second with Mrs. Sharman Crawford, which was 
staged in fine form. 
Teas and Noisettes. —The amateurs’ class for 
eighteen single trusses of Teas or Noisettes, brought 
up some very good blooms, those shown by O. G. 
Orpen, Esq., Colchester, being large, fresh, aDd 
beautiful. Fine blooms were Maman Cochet, 
Cleopatra, White Maman Cochet, and Comtesse de 
Nadaillac. He was accorded the first award.

blooms of Maman Cochet, Innocente Ptrola, 
Bridesmaid, &c. There were five competitors in 
this class. 
E. M. Bethune, Esq., Denne Park, Horsham, 
Sussex, took the premier award for twelve trusses of 
not less than nine varieties. He bad very fine 
blooms of Btidesmaid, Catherine Mermet, Ethel 
Bro.vDlow, Maman Cochet, &c. The second prize 
went to the Rev. F. R. Burnside, Great Stambridge 
Rectory, Rochford, Essex, who also had some fine

In the class for six trusses, Miss Beatrice H. 
Langton, Raymead, Hendon, N.W., took the lead, 
showing handsome blooms of Maman Cochet, 
Madame Cusin, and Comtesse de Nadaillac; G. A. 
Hammond, Esq., Cambrian House, Burgess Hill,

oi Maman Cochet, one or two being spoiled, however ;

They had large and handsome bunches of Lady 
Battersea, Dawn, Paul’s Carmine Pillar, L’ldeal, 
Celine Forestier, Madame Falcot, Blanche Double 
de Coubert, &c. Messrs. Frank Cant & Co., Col¬ 
chester, came in second with a splendid array, 
perhaps a little more formal. 
E. M. Bethune, Esq., had the best six trusses of 
one variety, the Rev. F. R. Burnside being second. 
A section was set apart for exhibition Roses in 
vases. In the open class for nine varieties, so set 
up, the leading award was taken by Mr Geo. Prince 
with fine vases of Madame Cusin, Marquis Litta, 
Fisher Holmes, Bridesmaid, &c. Messrs. B. R. 
Cant & Sons, Colchester, were second. 
In the amateur class for six vases of Roses the 
Rev. J. H. Pemberton hsd a very good lot, taking the 
first prize. 
Mr. Geo. Prince had the best six Teas or Noisettes, 
shown in vases, his white Maman Cochet and 
Catherine Mermet being very attractive. He was' 
followed by Messrs. B. Cant & Sons, with an even 
and good lot. 
O. G. Orpen, Esq , was accorded the leading prize 
in the amateurs' class for six varieties of Roses in 
vases, his Madame Cusin being splendidly coloured. 
Non-competing Groups of Roses. —Messrs. W. 
Paul & Son, Waltham Cross, Herts., made a grand 
show with a large collection of excellently well 
grown Roses. The species exhibited were some of 
the best that the world of Roses could produce, and 
showed every transition of colour from the purest 
white to the deepest of velvety red, and from the 
palest primrose to the deepest orange. One that 
seemed to be more fancied than any in this large 
exhibit was their new decorative Tea Rose, 
Sulphurea. It is really a handsome thing, being of 
a light sulphur colour and with beautiful coppery 
foliage. They also exhibited a new climbing Rose 
bearing the name of Golden Queen, and a better name 
could not have been chosen for the blooms, especially 
when half open, as they are of a beautiful old gold 
colour. A decorative Tea Rose bearing the name of 
Corallina, also new, ought to soon become a favourite 
as its remarkable coral-red colour and floriferous 
habit ought to recommend it to every lover of Roses. 
Alexandra, another new decorative Tea Rose, has a 
good form and colour when in the bud, but is some¬ 
what ragged when it opens. 
Mrs. Kitto is another decorative Tea which ought 
to soon become a great favourite with connoisseurs 
owing to its graceful form and beautiful blending of 
colour. TennysoD, a new H. T., is a flower of very 
symmetrical form, and is almost white but for the 
unfolded petals which are suffused with a delicate 
flesh colour. Boadicea, a Dew H. T., is both good 
in the bud and when fully out; in the bud the pre¬ 
dominating colour is deep rose, but as the flower 
opens the handsome shell shi ped petals change from 
roie to cream towards their centre, while at the base 
they are a pure primrose. 
Other exquisite blooms were Souvenir de Catherine 
Guillot, Papa Gontier, Blushing Bride (new), Mdme. 
Ravary, Abel Carriere Amore, Captain Haywood, 
Ma Capucine, Jersey Beauty, a handsome pale 
sulphur yellow single with very bright foliage which 
has the appearac.ce of being polished. 
Messrs. James Veitch & Sons, Chelsea, made a
