ROSE  ANALYSIS. 
1880—1896. 
This  k  the  eleventh  Rose  analysis  that  I  have 
contributed  to  the  Journal  of  HorticHliure! . 
It  may  be  interesting  to  note  that  the  total 
number  of  blooms,  the  names  of  which  have 
been  tabulated,  during  the  eleven  year*,  has  now 
reached  20,000.  With  the  exception  of  the 
records  of  varieties  which  have  been  super¬ 
seded  on  the  lists  by  newer  and  better  kinds,  and 
those  of  other  Roses  either  too  new  or  too  little 
grown  to  find  a  place  in  them,  the  whole  of  this 
large  number  of  Rose  blooms  has  been  utilised 
in  one  way  or  another  in  framing  the  two  tables 
which  follow.  It  should  be  borne  in  mind  that 
only  the  names  of  varieties  staged  in  the  prize¬ 
winning  stands  are  taken  down  each  year  for  the 
purpose  of  these  analyses. 
The  National  Rose  Society's  Show,  which  was 
held  at  the  Crystal  Palace  in  July  last,  proved 
comparatively  a  small  one.  Indeed,  with  the  ex¬ 
ception  of  that  of  1803,  it  was  the  smallest 
metropolitan  show  of  the  Society  for  twelve 
years.  Nor  is  this  surprising  when  we  consider 
the  trying  weather  Rose  plants  had  to  contend 
against  during  the  early  part  of  the  past  summer. 
The  Rose  season  of  1806  was,  moreover,  remark¬ 
ably  forward,  even  more  forward  than  in  the 
previous  year,  so  that,  as  was  then  the  case,  the 
first  flowering  of  many  varieties  was  over  in  the 
south  of  En^and  before  the  end  of  J une,  and 
consequently  before  the  show. 
If  the  question  were  asked,  “  Which  of  all  the 
Hybrid  Perpetuals  and  Hybrid  Teas  is  the  most 
reliable  as  an  exhibition  flower  ?  ”  we  have  only 
to  refer  to  the  table  of  H.P.’s  in  order  to  reply 
with  confidence,  “  Mrs,  John  Laing.”  Six  yean 
after  this  grand  variety  came  out  it  headed  the 
list,  and  since  then  no  other  Rose  has  at  any  one 
of  the  succeeding  shows  been  as  frequently 
staged.  A  writer  in  the  “Garden”  states  that 
he  counted  nearly  300  blooms  of  this  variety  at 
the  last  Crystal  Palace  exhibition.  Madame 
Gabriel  Luizet  is  another  grand  light  H.P.,  but 
being  an  early  variety  is  more  at  the  mercy  of 
the  seasons  than  Mrs.  John  Laing.  It  has  only 
once  before  been  as  indifferently  shown  as  it 
was  this  year,  and  that  was  in  the  still  more 
forward  summer  of  1893.
