Only a few of these roses are now worth retaining, remarkable for their fine shape and capability of being exhibited as 'show roses', i.e., as single blooms, in the manner of dahlias and other flowers. To describe them in as few words as possible, it will perhaps be the most eligible way to give their descriptions in groups thus:
For fine crimson roses we may take Boula de Nanteuil, D'Aguesseau, Gloire de Colmar, Grandissima, Kean, Latour d'Auvergne, Ohl, Schönbrunn, Triomphe de Jaussens; these are large, very double, and finely-shaped crimson roses, of slightly different shades.
