JOURNAL  OF  HORTICULTURE  AND  COTTAGE  GARDENER, 
October  29,  1903. 
according  to  the  average  number  of  times  each  Rose  was 
staged  at  the  last  eight  metropolitan  exhibitions  of  the 
Society.  This  applies  to  rather  moi’e  than  two-thirds  of  the 
varieties  which  find  places  in  those  tables. 
For  the  sorts  of  more  recent  introduction  the  longest 
trustworthy  averages  obtainable  are  given  them  instead. 
The  still  newer  kinds  are  further  dealt  with  in  a  special  audit, 
the  results  of  which  are  given  at  the  close  of  that  part  of  this 
article  which  has  reference  to  Roses  for  exhibition  pur¬ 
poses.  After  this  audit  will  be  found  carefully  compiled 
lists  of  the  best  Roses  in  all  sections  for  cultivation. 
The  Rose  season  of  1903,  like  that  of  the  previous  year, 
proved  an  extremely  backward  one,  and  as  the  date  of  the 
National  Show  was  again  unusually  early  the  later  flowering 
HYBRID  PERPETUALS  AND  HYBRID  TEAS.
