New Roses.—Messrs. Pentland of Baltimore, and Ward of Washington, D. C, have raised some very beautiful seedling roses, which they intend to offer for sale soon.
Mr. Ward's roses are named America and Cinderella, the former a Noisette, which he describes as follows: "A very large, perfectly full, very fragrant Noisette rose, of a creamy yellow (sometimes sulphur yellow) color, with flesh and salmon tints, deepening towards the base of the petals. The expanding bud is truly magnificent, and of the most graceful proportions. The open rose is a noble flower, and peculiarly persistent, lasting upon the bush in perfection, five, six, and seven days, filling the atmosphere with its orris-like perfume. The flowers are usually in clusters of three or four, each being upon a very long and stout stem, and are produced without intermission from the first to the last of the rose season. The foliage is strong, large, healthy, lustrous and handsome, and the habit of growth superb. Though of rapid and vigorous climbing growth, it does not make long bloomless branches, like Cloth of Gold, Solfaterre, and others of its class; but, after a growth of one, two, or three feet, according to culture, the new shoots make terminal clusters of buds, and break into blooming laterals along a good part of their length. It is perfectly hardy here, and stood without injury the memorable winters of 1855-6, 1856-7, when the thermometer was frequently below zero, (Fahrenheit,) and Noisettes, Teas, and Bourbons were almost exterminated from this region, and many Remontants cut down to the ground."
Testimonials from John Saul, Wm. Cammack and others pronounce both these roses fine acquisitions. They were obtained from seeds by our correspondent, Dr. C. G. Page, whose articles on the rose have no doubt given so much information on this lovely flower: and it is only necessary for us to say that Dr. Page knows what a good rose is, and would not desire to be known as the originator of an inferior variety. It is gratifying to see that our amateurs are beginning to do what we are sure they are able to, produce as fine roses as the French cultivators, who have so long occupied the field, and supplied the world with roses of the most beautiful description.

Art. IV. Descriptions of Eight New Varieties of Prairie Roses. By the Editor.

Mr. Pierce raised twelve kinds, brief descriptions of which he sent us last season; but, as they only referred to the color of the flowers, we thought it preferable to delay their publication until we could render them complete. Most of our plants have flowered finely this year, and we have been enabled to do so, and we now annex the following descriptions of each:—

Anne Maria —Flowers, medium size, pale pink, with rose centre, cupped and very double: clusters, large, numbering twenty to thirty flowers, and rather compact: foliage, medium size, very pale green, undulated, slightly serrated, and rather smooth: spines, strong, pale green: habit, robust, vigorous and good. It is quite distinct from any of the others.

History and Cultivation of the Rose.—Mr. Shirley Hibbard recently delivered a most interesting lecture on the Rose. Mr. Hibbard briefly sketched the history of the rose from the earliest times to the peace of 1815, when, he said, the first of the great French rose gardens was laid out by M. Vibert, and the improvement of the rose as a florist's flower commenced in earnest . The great majority of these varieties had been raised in France during the past forty-five years by MM. Vibert, Laffay, Hardy, Desprez, Prevost, Lacharme, Margottin, Guillot, Granger, and a few other professional and amateur growers. The lecturer enumerated the best roses raised by each, and gave a few historical memoranda of such roses as Annie Vibert, Jules Margottin, Geant des Betailles, Great Western, and others, tracing them to their parentage, and indicating, also, the varieties which had proceeded from them....(Gard.

[From letter by Geo. C. Thorburn, Newark, N.J., Oct.27, 1857] Augusta...the excellent judgement of many distinguished florist between Boston and Charleston are not to be overlooked, but I fear their determined will to make it out merely "Solfatare" has blinded their better judgement...That it has some similarity to the Solfatare I admit; the wood and foliage, especially the latter, is very similar; the flower buds are, however, much more globular; the clusters...much larger; and for scent, incomparably finer, rivalling Devoniensis..It is about as much like Solfatare as Devoniensis is like Yellow Tea, odorata or Smithii...

[From letter by Jas. Jackson, Boston, February 12, 1858, referring to the letter of Geo. C. Thorburn in the February issue] ...the public have had a good opportunity to see, for themselves, these two roses, and have become satisfied of there being no essential difference, if any at all, between them; and if there were no mistake in declaring that this rose sprung from seed, then, as it has been well said before, it is a reproduction of the Solfatare...the Augusta rose (so called) when sent out, was prepresented to be decidedly better, a superior rose to Solfatare, and it has turned out, in the opinion of all those who have flowered it, (with exceptions, and exceptions only,) to be no better, but the same, to all intents and purposes, as Solfatare; and no little feeling was wrought up, from mere disppointment to indignation, with those who purchased it, at the discovery, when the rose came into bloom, that five dollars had been paid for a rose, that either they could have purchased for fifty cents...or, that was already in their possession...I shall simply deny that it is any more fragrant than Solfatare...
