of rare beauty. With me it has proved a splendid grower, and 
its carmine-crimson flowers’ are produced in. profusion.. Hardy 
and perpetual. Mates a fine arcli in conjunction with Heine 
Olga de Wurtemburg. 
Frau Peter Lambert.—(N. Welter, 1902.) : An extremely 
promising Rose of fair growth, and very free flowering. Colour, 
rich rose, with deep salmon centre. Flowers, quite large 
enough for exhibition, well formed, with pointed centre ; habit, 
drooping, and isi best in standard form. 
Frau Lilia Rautenstrauch.—(P. Lambert, 1903.): A friend 
who has seen this new variety speaks so well of it that I 
include it here. The buds are coppery-yellow, changing to 
reddish-yellow as they expand. 
Gloire Lyonnaise.—(Guillot, 1884.): Very large flower, 
white, with yellow' base. A particularly good grower, hardy 
and free flowering. 
Grace Darling.—(H. Bennett, 1884.): Would that all our 
Hybrid Teas were as hardy and asi free in, growth as this'. As 
a garden Rose it is indispensable, though it has its faults. Try 
it as a, 4-ft. hedge and leave it almost, unpinned. 
Grand-Due Adolphe de Luxembourg.—(Soupert and Net¬ 
ting, 1892.) : One of the loveliest garden Roses in existence, and 
worthily given an Award of Merit by the R.H.S. some years 
ago. The flowers droop and are only semi-double, but their 
colouring is unique. Inside of petals clear light rO'se, exterior 
violet-red. Very floriferous, perfectly hardy, and a good 
grower, with fine foliage. Exquisite as a standard. 
Grossherzogin, Victoria Melita.—(Peter Lambert, 1898.): 
Sent out as an improved K. Augusta Victoria, which it cer¬ 
tainly is not. However, it is a most excellent variety of very 
thorny and hardy growth, making a bush 3 ft. to 4 ft. high. 
Pale lemon--white flowers, very double and ball-shaped. Opens, 
badly in wet weather; makes a. good standard and is splendid 
in. a. warn .autumn. Safrano x C. Testout. 
Gustave Griinerwald (P. Lambert, 1903.) : I have seen but 
one bloom of this new Rose, and consider it extremely promis¬ 
ing. An almost thornless variety, with carmine-pink blossoms 
shaded with yellow in centre. A seedling from the preceding 
variety crossed with one of the Austrian Briers, Rosa lutea 
bieolor. 
Gustave Regis.—(J. Pernet-Ducher, 1890.) : Quite one of the 
best decorative varieties in the whole class and remarkably 
hardy. Buds, very long and pointed, opening into large, semi- 
double flowers. Growth, semi-climbing, but isi best when 
grown as a standard or a large bush. Colour, nankeen-yellow, 
changing to creamy-yellow. Sweet, scented and most flor¬ 
iferous'. 
Irish Beauty, Irish Glory, Irish Modesty.—(A. Dickson and 
Sons.): Pure white, silvery-pink and coral-pink respectively. 
All good grower’s, and as. free as the Chinas. Must not be 
allowed to set. hepsi (which they do freely), as it checks 1 their 
vigour. Perfectly single, but. lovely as decorative Roses. Irish 
Glory I like the best. 
Johanna Sebus.—(Dr. Muller, 1900.): A very strong-grow¬ 
ing Hybrid Tea which may best, be described as an extra, 
vigorous, form of Grace Darling, with flowers of a. deeper tint 
and more fragrant. Very hardy, but rather addicted to 
mildew. Should be grown, as a pillar, and spared the knife. 
Kaiserin Augusta Victoria.—(P. Lambert, 1890.) : The best, 
all-round white Hybrid Tea, though creamy-lemon would be a 
more accurate description of its colouring. A thoroughly re¬ 
liable variety ; growth erect and hardy. Extremely floriferous, 
and for garden decoration should be left long in pruning. A 
seedling from Ducher’s old Tea Rose, Coquette de Lyon. The 
climbing form is good on a warm wall or in a conservatory. 
Killarney.—(A. Dickson and Sons, 1898.) : Though sadly 
addicted to mildew, this is a. splendid variety both for ex¬ 
hibition and garden purposes; hardy, and of good upright 
growth. Buds, very pointed, opening into large, almost semi¬ 
double blossoms' of a bright flesh-pink—in autumn much paler. 
Petals, very large, of great substance and lasting character. 
Fragrant. 
Konigin Carola.—(Turke., 1902.): Mr. P. Lambert, of Trier, 
recommended me this Rose as being one of the finest novelties 
of last year, so I am induced to. include it here. From the 
plant I have received it is evidently a. vigorous grower, but 
until it flowers here I can. say nothing further. Said to be a 
ores® betweeni C. Testout and Viscountess Folkestone; colour, 
silvery-rose. 
La France.—(Guillot, 1867.): Too well known, to need any 
description. Mi’. Alex. Dickson said at the Rose Conference 
that he considered it a hybrid of the Chinas and not the Teas. 
Ikis Lortf.ti. (See p. 701.) 
Lady Mary Fitzwilliam.—(H. Bennett, 1882.): Purely an 
exhibitor’s Rose, and a poor grower. Flowers, light pink, 
globular, very large and freely produced. A most useful 
variety to the hybridist, as it sets seed pods freely. T. Devoni- 
ensis x Victor Verdier. 
La Tbsca,-—(Veuve Schwartz, 1901.): One of the most lovely 
and floriferous bedding Roses in: existence, and a. splendid 
grower. Intermediate between Viscountess. Folkestone and C. 
Testout, but perfectly distinct from either, both in flower and 
habit of growth. Wood erect, pale green and thornless ; 
flowers produced on stiff stalks, of good form, fragrant and 
stand bad weather well. Colouring varies from pale rose to 
pale salmon-white, at times blush-white. Hybrid Tea Jose¬ 
phine de Marot x Luciole. This variety was raised in the 
famous. Lyons nursery founded by J. B. Guillot pere in 1837, 
from whence we have received a: number of grand varieties, 
such as A. K. Williams, Mine. Alfred Carriere, Victor Hugo and 
others.
