Aimee Vibert How beautiful this fine old Rose is just now, and it will go on flowering right into the late autumn. It is a great success when budded upon...Briar....Naturally, such a fine climbing rose is suitable for planting against a pillar. It does not run up very high, but it becomes dense at the base, and therefore the old and useless wood should be well thinned out, retaining their full length the one and two year old growths....

Aimee Vibert is one of the most valuable of all climbing Roses, owing to the lateness of its time of flowering, whereby it comes in most usefully after nearly all other climbing Roses are past. It is immensely vigorous and free growing, with the additional advantage of being almost an evergreen, and the beauty and effectiveness of the great trusses of small white flowers upon the plant are greatly enhanced by their being displayed against such a dense green background.

Albert Stopford was sent out in the same year and is a very fine sort, superior in form to General Schablikine, although, perhaps not so free. Its colour is a deep bright carmine rose, with coppery centre, this latter colouring being seen in quite a few of M. Nabonnand's seedlings. It was raised from General Schablikine crossed with Papa Gontier.

Rose (H.P.) Alfred K. Williams. This beautiful Rose was sent out by Schwartz, of Lyons, in the autumn of 1877, and flowered for the first time in my Rose garden the following summer. From the very first flower I...discovered that it was a Rose of great promise...A few complaints have been heard regarding its being a weak grower...misgivings to which I give no credit...I find it does well as a standard, and also on the Manetti, but I am inclined to think that the Brier is the best stock for it. Colchester. B. R. Cant...
In growth I should describe A.K. Williams as being between Duke of Wellington and Lord Macaulay....growth may be set down as moderate. The wood is thorny, the spines being what the rosarians call red. The form of the flower is perfect, being beautifully imbricated and of the brightest carmine-red...No Rose, if I omit Gloire de Dijon and La France, is more thoroughly perpetual....As regards constitution or durability, can it rank with Alfred Colomb...?I fear not...One great thing...is that it grows alike freely on Manetti, seedling Brier, and standard Brier.

ROSE ALLIANCE FRANCO RUSSE
I HAVE been much surprised that exhibitors who make Tea Roses their special study have not brought this variety into greater prominence. As far as I know it has never been exhibited in a competitive stand, and yet its merits are of no mean order. These are in form, substance, and colour almost perfect. At times the flowers resemble a pale Perle des Jardins, but there is a salmon shade pervading most of them. A deep petal, coming up to a point, is one of its characteristics, and I feel sure it would be a valuable kind for the exhibitor. It would be a splendid idea if the Royal Horticultural Society could see their way to plant such sorts as this at Wisley in order to bring them more under the notice of growers. P. April 1 1905.

Rosa sinica Anemone is first-rate novelty, said to be a hybrid of Rosa laevigata. One thing can be said in its favour, and that is it flowers freely on young plants. One cannot claim this much for Rosa laevigata. The flowers of Rosa sinica Anemone are single, and almost as large as those of macrantha. In colour they remind one of the Hybrid Tea La Fraicheur.

Dwarf Perpetual Polyantha Rose.
This Rose affords a striking example of the universal law of variability. The type, the sarmentose Polyantha, is a native of Japan, whence it was introduced about twenty years ago, by Fortune. But little attention was paid to it at first; indeed, so much was this the case, that the director of our Park, M. Bonnet, did not think it worth a place among other Roses there, and gave me the plant of it which he had received from the importer. About four years later I had sown some seeds gathered from the type, and I obtained several double varieties, all sarmentose, but not any perpetual. From one of these, which is still in my garden, I gave some seed to M. J.B. Guillot, from which he obtained the first dwarf perpetual bloomer in 1872; this he sent out in 1875, and named it Paquerette. It is a free bloomer, double, and pure white. About the same time the late M. Ph. Rambaux had sown a great many seeds obtained from a plant which I gave him of the double-flowered white Polyantha, a different kind from the type, being yellowish white, and also bearing large trusses of flowers, but not perpetual. From this he obtained several dwarf seedlings, but not so dwarf as Paquerette. One of them was particularly remarkable, inasmuch as it had flowers larger than those of Paquerette, and pure white. It was named Anne Marie de Montravel. The double white Polyantha is not so much cultivated as it deserves to be.
Although I was the first to possess it, I cannot exactly state its origin; I cannot say whether it is a seedling of mine, or a sport from the type of which the plant has every appearance of being. Three years later, M. J.B. Guillot obtained another variety, which he sent out, in 1881, under the name of Mignonette. This is also very dwarf and a free bloomer. In colour it is a light rose, and fine in shape. In the same year also appeared Polyantha Cécile Brunner, a seedling of the late M. Ducher from the type, crossed by Tea Rose Souvenir d'un Ami. The flowers of this are good in shape, and of a delicate rose colour slightly tinted with yellow. In 1883, M. Joseph Schwartz sent out a dwarf perpetual Polyantha, under the name of Jeanne Drivon. Its parentage is not, however, exactly known, because it was discovered amongst a great many seedlings of various origin. Its flower are white, slightly edged with pink, and good in shape. In the same year M. F. Dubreuil, son-in-law of the late M. Ph. Rambeaux, sent out Perle d'Or, a splendid acquisition; also a seedling from the double white Polyantha, but of a good yellow colour. The plant is also very dwarf and an abundant bloomer. Last year M. Alégatière sent out Miniature, the result of seeds sown in 1882. These were gathered from various bushes, offsprings of the type. Its flowers are small, but very numerous and pretty; they are a very light rose edged with a darker tint, and are nearly always to be found in bloom. This year M. F. Dubreuil sent out another seedling of the double white Polyantha, under the name of Floribunda. This has flowers of a rosy tint, fine in shape and freely produced.
The greatest merit belonging to the Polyantha Rose is that it is very hardy. It has withstood in my garden, for about twenty years, our most severe winters; in 1871 we have 24° zero centigrade. Moreover, it throws up no suckers, like the Manetti and Brier, and therefore it is recommended as the best stock on which to graft other varieties. Jean Sisley. Monplaisir, Lyons.

Rose Archduke Charles (China).-This is a variety of remarkable variability. Sometimes the expanded flowers are pure red; at others the centre petals are light blush, reflexed with white, and the outer petals of rich velvety crimson. It is fairly double, a really good grower, and altogether an excellent China Rose, being most certainly too good a variety to be lost sight of. Though classes as a China, it appears to be very nearly a Tea-scented, differing greatly from the Chinas in its erect habit of growth. One would take it to be the parent of that beautiful Rose Duke of York as it has many of the peculiar variation in colour of this now very popular kind, but the two varieties are perfectly distinct, and both should be included in every collection of garden Roses.
