MONG the many now forms of Roses introduced of late, and the 
present decade has been most prolific in new classes, we believe 
that none will outrival those in general usefulness. We had the 
pleasure of first calling wide public attention to the merit of one 
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 
these new Roses. 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 fpr use in the private garden, in the cemetery, or in large public parks, 
fop cpvering 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.

This i® the goin of,the collection, and may vyelfbe palled the 
Double “ Manorial Rose,” as it preserves'the color of the 
parent, with its characteristics of growth and foliage, but the 
(lowers are djoi]b|p.,and very frag rapt. They are produced in clus¬ 
ters of fropi tjwqlye to eighteen flowers on each cluster on small 
*ido shoots, literally cpvering the plant and standing well above the 
foliage, giving g very graceful appearance. This variety will be 
valuable for all purposes, whether for trailing on the ground for 
cemetery usej-.growing on fences and gate *posts, boundary walls, 
or as specimens in pots or tubs.

* with perfectly formed double flowers one and one-half to two 
inches in diameter, of a soft, light pink, and very fragrant. 
OUTH ORANGE PERFECTION. 
% 
This variety is similar to the preceding in growth. It has 
double flowers, soft blush changing tp. 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. 
P INK ROAMER. 
GGe>"ie30GGGGGOGOGiGOO_ * 
'this variety shows undoubted traee^of descent from,the 
Siveet Brier, both in the color anij 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 qnd|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 Rose, and we believe that eventually it will 
become one of the most valuable productions of Tecent years. 
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.
