Adam (Adam, 1833). — Syn. President (Paul & Son, 1860). Of poor growth and small reputation. The blooms are large, globular and very sweet, but loose and untrustworthy, and the sort is of little value as a free-flowerer or autumnal.

Souvenir d'un ami ...Open bloom and bud, said to have been bred by an unknown amateur, commercialized 1846 by the French breeder Bellot de Fougère in 1846. This rose has the curious misfortune to be confused with quite a number of different varieties, with which she is however absolutely not identical.
a) Queen Victoria, whose breeder and year of introduction could not be ascertained, is more yellow, although very similar in form.
b) Adam, breeder Adam 1838.
c) Président, from the english breeder Paul & Son 1860.
She is somewhat similar in colour to the last two named sorts, but very different in form and growth. The colour is pure pink, most beautiful flat cup form, blooms nodding on long stems, also an excellent forcing rose.

Tea Rose Adam.—This is one of the most useful Roses in cultivation, and I venture to say that some of these days it will stand in the front rank of Roses grown more for the continuous supply of buds and flowers which they yield than for the decorative effect which they are capable of affording. My first acquaintance with this Rose was made on the Continent some years ago, where, in a large establishment, the back wall of a Camellia house was devoted to Tea Roses, amongst which were some plants of Adam. All the kinds planted there did well, and gave a large amount of bloom, but there were periods when they were out of bloom with the exception of Adam, which always furnished a bud or two in times of need, and often caused the remark to be made that it was worth all the other varieties put together. It is, however, only fair to say that that favourite of the market growers, Niphetos, did not have a place there; but although Adam scarcely ranks so high as that popular kind, it comes next to it, and the two should always be found in company, forming, as they do, a good contrast as regards colour. I cannot think of two better kinds for a small greenhouse than these two Teas, and I am sure amateurs would find them more satisfactory than Maréchal Niel, which, glorious Rose though it is, is not so well fitted for small houses, and its flowering season is far too short for those who like to cut a Rose every few days through the spring, summer, and autumn months. Speaking of Tea Roses the other day to a friend, a large rower of them, he confirmed my good opinion of Adam, but considers it to be quite distinct from President. This is a matter of some importance, and a point which should be cleared up, as if there are two distinct Roses under the same name, it may be that the true Adam is often not obtainable, and that some disappointment may be the result, that is supposing the two kinds not to be equal in general good properties. What is the opinion of Rose growers in reference to this matter?
