Hybrid Perpetuals
Captain Christy (Lacharme, 1873). — Of the robust habit of growth, but the wood is unique and something like that of the Victor Verdier race. Lately declared to be a Hybrid Tea, an assertion which seems at present wanting in proof. It has splendid foliage, of a lovely colour when young in the spring, coming well up under the flower. Not much liable to orange fungus or mildew, and though not liking rain can put up with it better than many of the light-coloured Roses. The summer blooms are apt to come divided and badly shaped particularly on strong shoots, but the good ones are fine in petal and fulness, fair in lasting qualities, and of the largest size, but rather open in shape. The shoots should be left rather long in pruning and not much thinned, for it is very full, and apt to come coarse and rough if grown too strongly. A free bloomer for one of the robust habit, and as an autumnal quite one of the best H.P.s we have, for flowers in September or even October are sometimes better than those of the summer crop. A grand Rose if "well done by," grown on the briar (preferably as a standard) on good soil; but rather dainty, nearly scentless, and does not like the manetti stock or being starved. A climbing sport of this Rose was issued by Ducher in 1881.

Nous allons tâcher d'énumérer les principales roses mises au commerce par notre regretté collègue.  Nous en oublions sans doute, et des bonnes, mais par la nomenclature qui va suivre, on pourra juger de la valeur des semis qu'il a obtenus.

Hybrid Tea Roses.
This class is of recent origin.  They are produced from crossing Tea with Hybrid Perpetual Roses, and while a few denote well defined traits of both races, others seem to be pure Teas.  Many are of very weak growth and bad color, hence we have rejected the greater number as undesirable.  The following are valuable:
