Caroline d'Arden (Dickson). — This rose, raised from a cross between the two best red Hybrid Perpetuals in cultivation, 'A. K. Williams' and 'Marie Baumann', proves worthy of its parentage, and has already taken a high place in the estimation of rosarians. The blooms of it exhibited at Manchester last July elicited the greatest admiration; but it is not a rose to be appreciated only by exhibitors, although they cannot fail to find it invaluable, for in addition to the important qualities of size and fine form the flowers are deliciously fragrant, with large, very smooth petals of great substance and of a most attractive shade of pure soft rose color. The plant grows vigorously and flowers well in autumn.

The following extract from a letter received this morning from one of the judges at the Helens. burgh, West of Scotland, show, held on last Friday, will interest all lovers of Roses, especially your correspondent, "Wild Rose": :- "Dicksons, of Newtownards, produced a sensation with their new Roses here yesterday. None could have anticipated that your Emerald Isle would have the credit of producing such a magnificent seedling Rose as Caroline Darden, formerly named after the famous American Dr. Jacks, but now sent out under the maiden name of his wife. It is in the way and build of Charles Lefebvre, or perhaps nearer A. K. Williams, but much darker, of greater substance of petal, and glowing velvety richness. ....I was rather proud to get this, as last year the Gardeners' Chronicle drew attention for the first time to these seedling Roses, and this year confirms the impression. Caroline Darden also got a First-class Certificate a few days since at the Royal Dublin Society's Summer Show.
