The Roses of 1854.
It is long since we have had any new and good Noisette Roses; but this season a new variety called Augusta has been sent from America, which has bloomed in great perfection; it is of the race of Solfaterre, and resembles it closely in habit; its flowers are, however, more double and globular, remarkably elegant in shape, and in the centre of its flower it is a little deeper in colour.

New Roses. by William Paul. Nurseries, Cheshunt, Herts.
The Hybrid Perpetuals are, as usual, in the ascendant...
Bacchus (Paul) is another of the same race [Geant des Batailles]; the flowers are far brighter than the Geant, large, full, and produced in great abundance, both in summer and autumn; this Rose, on account of the brilliancy of its colour and profuseness of its flowering, should be in every collection.

Memoranda from Kew.
Some of the more interesting summer-flowering things are the several kinds of Clematis, a tribe of plants with which most cultivators are familiar, as few gardens are to be found that do not possess some of them. [...]
The following are the best kinds, all hardy, and easily procurable at a trifling expense:
Clematis campaniflora.  This is a neat-looking and rather pretty flowering kind.  The flowers are smallish, bell-shaped, and light-coloured, tinged with blue.  It is a native of Spain.
