October  29,  1903. 
also  a  new-comer,  will  be  found  at  No.  32.  We  all  know 
how  limited  are  the  number  of  good  yellow  exhibition  Roses, 
and  therefore,  as  we  rejoice  in  the  fine  form  this  year  of  the 
pale  yellow  Medea,  so  shall  we  watch  with  keen  interest  the 
future  progress  of  these  two  new  candidates  for  honours. 
Our  next  section  is  the  garden  Roses.

New  varieties,  whose  positions  are  dependent  on  their  records  for  the  1903  shows  only. 
“Garden”  or  Decorative  Roses. 
See  table  on  opposite  page. 
It  may,  perhaps,  be  advisable  to  explain  once  more  that 
by  “garden”  Roses  is  meant  those  varieties  which  are 
either  not  sufficiently  large  or  not  sufficiently  regular  in  form 
to  allow  of  the  individual  blooms  being  set  up  singly  at  shows 
in  boxes — like  the  Roses  with  which  we  have  previously 
been  dealing.  These  garden  or  decorative  Roses,  instead 
of  being  staged  separately  like  the  exhibition  varieties,  are 
displayed  in  large  bunches,  and  the  stands  containing  them 
now  form  some  of  the  most  interesting  and  attractive  features 
of  our  modern  Rose  shows.  In  the  following  table  the 
varieties  are  arranged  according  to  the  average  number  of 
times  they  were  staged  in  prizewinning  stands  at  the  last 
four  Metropolitan  exhibitions  of  the  National  Rose  Society, 
and  no  Rose  has  been  included  which  has  not  been  exhibited 
at  one  or  other  of  those  shows  three  or  more  times. 
In  the  new  class  for  summer  flowering  Roses  at  the  last 
two  exhibitions  the  following  old-fashioned  garden  Roses 
were  shown.  A  list  of  these  may  prove  of  interest  to  some 
of  your  readers,  as  among  them  will  be  found  varieties 
which  are  now  very  seldom  seen.  I  append  a  list  of  some  of 
the  oldes  of  these :  Amadis  (Boursault),  Blairii  No.  2  (H.B.), 
Celestial  (Alba),  Commandant  Beaurepaire  (Gallica),  Com- 
tesse  de  Murinais  (Moss),  Crested  Moss  (Moss),  Coupe 
d’Hebe  (H.N.),  De  Meaux  (Provence),  Dometil  Beccard 
(Provence),  Double  Yellow  (Scotch),  Flora  (Evergreen), 
Hebe’s  Lip  (Sweet  Briar),  Julie  de  Mersent  (Moss),  Juno 
(H.C.),  Ma  Surprise  (Microphylla),  Madame  D’Arblay 
(Musk),  Old  Black  Moss  (Moss),  Perle  d’Angers  (Boursault), 
Prolific  (Moss),  Reine  Blanche  (Moss),  Tuscany  (Gallica). 
I  have  again  to  thank  those  kind  friends  who  year  after 
year,  on  a  busy  show  day,  have  assisted  me  in  taking  down  the 
names  of  the  Roses  in  the  prize  stands,  and  have  thus  ren¬ 
dered  these  analyses  possible. 
An  Audit  of  the  Newer  Exhibition  Roses. 
The  audit  given  below  has  been  introduced  for  the  benefit 
of  the  varieties  of  recent  introduction,  which  it  is  impossible 
to  place  accurately  in  the  tables,  owing  to  their  limited  re¬ 
cords,  and  to  the  disturbing  influence  of  a  single  favourable, 
or  unfavourable,  season  upon  those  records.  Each  of  the 
following  voters  was  requested  to  place  the  fourteen  H.P.’s 
and  H.T.’s  on  the  audit  paper  in  what  they  considered  their 
order  of  merit  as  exhibition  Roses,  and  to  deal  in  the  same 
way  with  the  Teas. 
In  calculating  the  number  of  votes,  it  should  be  understood 
that  a  first  place  vote  in  the  case  of  the  former  list  is 
counted  as  fourteen  votes,  a  second  as  thirteen  votes,  and 
so  on.  In  the  case  of  the  Teas  a  first  place  vote  is  only 
reckoned  as  three  votes,  a  second  as  two  votes,  and  a  third 
as  one  vote,  as  there  are  only  three  candidates  on  that  list, 
as  compared  with  fourteen  in  the  other  one.
