ROSES LES PLUS PARFUMÉES. — La senteur des fleurs varie presque autant que les coloris; chacun a ses préférences sous ce rapport ; certaines personnes n'aiment pas ou même ne supportent pas l'odeur spéciale de certaines plantes ou fleurs. Le parfum de la rose est généralement aimé, souvent même préféré, bien qu'il y ait également parfum et parfum. Un correspondant du Gardeners’ Magazine donne dans le numéro du 26 novembre une liste des variétés de roses les plus délicieusement parfumées. Voici cette liste : La France, rose argenté; Mrs John Laing, rose foncé; Gabriel Luizet, rose vif: Charles Lefebvre, rouge foncé; Victor Hugo, écarlate foncé ; Marie Baumann, carmin ; A. K. Williams, rouge sombre ; Mme Montet, chair ; Mme de Watteville, rose, sommet des pétales saumoné ; Ernest Metz, rose carné; Mme Lombard, rouge vif; Céline Forestier, jaune canari; Maréchal Niel, jaune foncé; Lamarque, blanc et citron; Mme Bérard, jaune et saumon; Sunset, orange; Bouquet d'or, jaune orangé; Souvenir d’un ami, rose vif; Général Jacqueminot, rouge brillant ; Prince Camille de Rohan, rouge noirâtre ; Augustine Guinosseau, blanche; Viscountess Folkestone, saumon et crême ; Gloire de Dijon, jaune saumoné, et Luciole, rose carminé, teinté safran.

Rose (H.P.) Alfred K. Williams. This beautiful Rose was sent out by Schwartz, of Lyons, in the autumn of 1877, and flowered for the first time in my Rose garden the following summer. From the very first flower I...discovered that it was a Rose of great promise...A few complaints have been heard regarding its being a weak grower...misgivings to which I give no credit...I find it does well as a standard, and also on the Manetti, but I am inclined to think that the Brier is the best stock for it. Colchester. B. R. Cant...
In growth I should describe A.K. Williams as being between Duke of Wellington and Lord Macaulay....growth may be set down as moderate. The wood is thorny, the spines being what the rosarians call red. The form of the flower is perfect, being beautifully imbricated and of the brightest carmine-red...No Rose, if I omit Gloire de Dijon and La France, is more thoroughly perpetual....As regards constitution or durability, can it rank with Alfred Colomb...?I fear not...One great thing...is that it grows alike freely on Manetti, seedling Brier, and standard Brier.

Our first point was a fine batch of the newly introduced Roses, amongst which Alfred K. Williams stands pre-eminent. It is a good grower, with large bright red flowers of good substance and fine shape, something like Horace Vernet, but a more vigorous grower. It appeared to me to be the best Rose of its year, an opinion in which I was glad to find both Mr. Paul and his foreman concurred.
