OUTH ORANGE, PERFECTION.

« 
This variety is similar to the preceding in growth. It has 
double flowers, soft blush changing to white, about one and 
one-half inches in diameter. The blossoms are, if anything, more 
freely produced than on the preceding, and are more double, 
perfect rosettes in shape. This is a very pretty variety and 
entirely distinct from the others.

This variety shows undoubted traces of descent from the 
Sweet Brier, both in the color and the shape of the blossom 
and in its exquisite fragrance. The growth is much stronger than 
the preceding. The single flowers are over two inches in diameter, 
a bright rich pink, with a large, silvery-white centre and orange-red 
stamens, producing a most charming effect. This variety, from its 
artistic appearance, will undoubtedly be very largely planted in 
parks and large private grounds. The fragrance is not the least 
charm of this beautiful Bose, and we believe that eventually it will 
become one of the most valuable productions of recent years.

fl NEW RAGE OF 
HYBRIDS OF ROSA WIOHURfllflNfl ). 
INF" The flowers shown are only half natural size. 
TTMONG the many now forms of Roses introduced of late, and the 
/ 1 present decade has been most prolific in new classes, we believe 
/—1 that none will outrival these in general usefulness. We had the 
I 1 pleasure of first calling wide public attention to the merit of one 
-A. of the parents of these Roses, i. e., the “Memorial Rose” (Rosa 
Wichuraiana), and so it is with added pleasure that we announce the advent of 
those now Boses. They retain the prostrate habit of the Wichuraiana, with its 
distinctive charm of foliage and its vigor of growth ; in fact, they are, if anything, 
stronger than the parent. We saw them growing on a gravelly terrace where it 
would seem no Rose would find sufficient sustenance to grow, and yet they made 
from 15 to 18 feet of growth in one season. We predict unbounded popularity for 
these, whether for use in the private garden, in the cemetery, or in large public parks, 
for covering rocky slopes, embankments, etc. The double varieties will unquestion¬ 
ably make grand pot plants for the greenhouse or conservatory, and can also be used 
s climbers, and we believe that the white variety will eventually take rank with the 
Crimson Rambler and form a splendid contrast to it. 
HE, DOUBLE WHITE “MEMORIAL ROSE” (Manila's 
~ "gGOOOOGOOOOOOOGOUOOOOOGOOOOOOOQQOOOOOOOeO ^7®’ Triumph). 
This is the gem of the collection, and may well be called the 
Double “ Memorial Rose,” as it preserves the color of the 
parent, with its characteristics of growth and foliage, but the 
dowers aro double and very fragrant. They are produced in clus¬ 
ters of from twelve to eighteen (lowers on each cluster on small 
side shoots, literally covering the plant and standing well above the 
foliage, giving a very graceful appearance. This variety will bo 
valuable for all purposes, whether for trailing on the ground for 
cemetery use, growing on fences and gate posts, boundary walls, 
or as specimens in pots or tubs. 
0UBLE PINK “MEMORIAL ROSE” eg (Universal 
eiexoooooocxyoooocccoooocxyooooaccioixxxsooc- bjni Favorite). 
A fitting companion to the above; identical in growth, but 
with perfectly formed double flowors one and one-half to two 
inches in diameter, of a soft, light pink, and very fragrant. 
All these Roses were certificated by the New York Florists’ Club 
and the New York Gardeners’ Society. Manda's Triumph received 
the Silver Medal as well, and was certificated wherever shown.
