Roses in 1864.
In the section of purple, crimson, and violet colours, there are offered the following: Abbé Raynaud, Amiral La Peyrouse, Andre Leroy d'Angers, Eugene Verdier, H. Laurentius, Joseph Durand, Maréchal Suchet, Senateur Reveil. We select these first, because we think the most interesting accomplishment of the present season, as regards the distribution of new roses, will be found amongst those of the darkest shades of colour. Of these eight we fully anticipate that at least five will become favourites- it is possible all may, for there is not a downright bad rose amongst them. The five on which we fix our choice are the following: Abbé Raynaud, dark violet, with crimson tinge on the edges of the petals, at present thin, but appearing only to require another season's growth to bring out its qualities
