Blanche Davilliers and Pulcherie are two pure white roses; the latter, in particular, most elegant and beautiful.

Silène is a robust and hardy variety, with large shaded red and blush flowers, very double: this will make a fine standard, and grow in any situation.

Boula de Nanteuil, more properly Comte Boula de Nanteuil, may be taken as a standard of excellence; its very large crimson purple flowers, regularly cupped, and yet fully and perfectly double, are, and always will be, admired by the amateur.

The Moss Rose.
Catherine de Wurtemburg is a new blush moss rose, giving its large globular flowers in clusters; it requires a dry season to perfect its flowers, which, in wet weather, often refuse to open; its fine rugose foliage and robust habit make it very interesting.

very old favourite must not be forgotten, — Bizarre Marbre or Cecile Boireau : this is really a beautiful and desirable rose, very double, large, finely shaped, and in colour generally bright rose marbled with blush ; sometimes, however,

Those who know the old Hybrid Bourbon rose , Celine , now used for stocks , will at once form an idea of the habit of this rose , which is equally robust , and has made shoots in one season more than six feet in length , as thick as a  moderate-sized riding-cane: its leaves are enormous, and measure from the base to the tip nine inches; and leaflets three and a half by two inches: its large clusters of flowers often contain from ten to fifteen in each; and as these are generally too much crowded to expand properly, it is better to thin each cluster, removing about half the buds. The flowers of this truly gigantic rose are of a rich red, tinted with purple: they are variable, according to the season, being much more brilliant in dry weather than in moist. Budded on very stout stocks of the Dog Rose, it will soon form a large umbrageous tree: it will also form a fine pillar rose.

I have now to notice a few varieties of this family entirely different to the foregoing, and lacking that fulness of petal, and perfection of shape,generally so much admired; these are desirable only for the extreme brilliancy of their glowing colours, which are really dazzling; they should always be planted in a group, as they do not mix well with the large and very double varieties. Brilliant, a new variety, Cerise superbe, Feu Brilliante, Rouge Eblouissante, (this is known also as Assemblage des Beautés,) Eblouissante de Laqueue and Vesta, the latter one of our oldest varieties, are the names of these vivid fiery scarlet roses; of these Cerise superbe and Rouge Eblouissante are the most double; the others are but little more than semi-double; they are all, however, desirable, and should by all means have a small bed allotted to them in the rose garden.

The French Rose.
(Rosa gallica.)
Rosier de Provins.
Chaste Susanne is a very remarkable variety of the most vigorous and robust habit, departing in some measure from the usual compact growth of the varieties of this family; its flowers are very large, of a fine blush colour, and very double and perfect.
