The Bourbon Rose...Dark crimson...Vorace, Jurie, Souvenir de l’Exposition, Réveil, and Adelaide Bougere,-- the three latter remarkable for richness of colour,—are well worthy the attention of the rose amateur.

The Noisette Rose. 
(Rosa Noisettiana.)
Rosier Noisette.
Augusta, an American rose, is so much like Solfaterre as not to be distinguished from it by any ordinary observer.

The Perpetual Moss Rose.
There are some other Autumnal Moss Roses, very pretty and fragrant; such are Celine Briant and Marie de Bourgogne, both dwarf and free blooming...

The hybrid Bourbon rose.... Charles Lawson, its [Paul Ricaut's] rival in size and shape, is in colour a brilliant rose, and, like all I have named, forms a fine vigorous-growing standard. The culture recommended for Hybrid China roses may be applied to these, as they are of the same race.

The Noisette Roses.
Varieties Described.
We now come to a distinct group of this family, which may be called Tea-scented Noisettes, as they partake so largely of the habit, and have the fragrance of the Tea Rose. [...]
To [Lamarque] we owe that most glorious of all yellow roses (when in perfection), the Cloth of Gold, or Chromatella. Even at this distance of time I have not forgotten the delight I felt on seeing this rose in bloom at Angers in 1843. Its flowers were like large golden bells. The tree was a standard trained to a wall, and each flower was pendulous so that their bright yellow centres were most conspicuous. Although twenty years have since elapsed, no yellow rose has approached in beauty this grand and remarkable variety. It is true we have had new yellow Noisette Roses in abundance, all of which were to outshine my old favourite; but they have all sunk into mediocrity, and we have yet to gain a rose from seed equal to the Cloth of Gold in form and colour, and as hardy and free blooming as Gloire de Dijon.

Culture.
The Tea-scented Noisettes are only adapted for walls and pillars in warm situations in the south of England, requiring even then the protection recommended for pillar roses on p.114. A well-grown pillar of such a rose as Cloth of Gold would have a fine effect. This rose requires some peculiarities in its treatment, for it is in our cool climate a shy bloomer*. It should be planted against a wall with a warm aspect, the soil well manured and stirred twenty inches deep, and its long robust shoots, which it always makes, not shortened, but trained to their full length, if in a serpentine manner so much the better; the second year these shoots will give grand trusses of bloom from all the buds in the upper part of the shoot. A soon as the blooms are past, cut out the shoots close to the ground and encourage the growth of others during the summer to bloom the following season. When the tree is very vigorous, one or two shoots that have bloomed the preceding summer may be left, the blooming spikes shortened, and they will sometimes give autumnal flowers.

*A very nice method of cultivating this rose is to plant a Banksian Rose against a wall (Fortuniana is the best variety), and after it has made sufficient growth, bud it with it. This stock also suits well the other yellow Noisettes, and all the Tea-scented Roses.

The Hybrid Perpetual Rose. (Rosier Hybride Remontante.)
Carmine and Cherry-coloured.
The Duke of Cambridge, Lord Palmerston, Le Ville de St. Denis, Madame Heraud, Madame Furtado- a perfect pattern of elegance in shape- and Madame Charles Crapelet, are the 'crème de la crème' of this group, and no roses can be more charming; they all, or nearly all, have an intensity of rose colour, if the expression may be used, which is of all colours the most pleasing; for do we not say ' the rosy morn,' the rosy hues of life, and employ many other expressions, all denoting the invariable charm of this most delightful of all tints?

Dwarf Hybrid Perpetual Roses....Pompon, or Ernestine de Barante, with charming light pink flowers, is one of the most distinct.

My attention all this month of November, and the preceding one of October, has been drawn to a bed of roses, consisting of a score or two of dwarf plants, which have had an unceasing succession of beautiful flowers, far beyond anything I have ever seen in autumn-blooming roses. On looking into them I found them to be a new variety of Hybrid Perpetual Rose called L’Etoile du Nord, which was one of the new roses of 1860, condemned as not being up to my standard, its petals being thin, and the rose, although very large and of a brilliant crimson, seeming an inferior variety of General Jacqueminot, from which one would judge it had been raised. As the treatment of these roses may be of interest, and lead to a new and simple mode of cultivating roses for blooming very late in the season, I will, in a few words, give it.

The original plants were received from France in December 1859, with other new roses, and their shoots taken off in January and grafted on Manetti stocks in the grafting-house, where, of course, artificial heat is employed. They grew well, and bloomed abundantly, in a cool house, in April and May, but, as I have said, their flowers not being thought first-rate, the plants were suffered to remain in small 4-inch pots till the middle of June, and then planted out, not being thought worthy of further pot cultivation. The ground they were planted in was heavily manured, so that they grew very freely, but were not noticed till the beginning of October, when the bed was observed to be a mass of buds and blossoms, the latter quite globular and of extraordinary beauty, and so they have continued to be till this day, the 24th of November. Now this simple fact seems to tell us, that what has resulted from accident may be carried out by rose cultivators, and lead to a method by which our rose gardens may be made more beautiful in autumn than they have yet been.

At present I know of only three or four other varieties equal to the above as Christmas roses. These are all varieties with thin petals which in the warm rose-tide of June, soon fade. L’Etoile du Nord is one of the most desirable. This is a new variety, a seedling from General Jacqueminot, which gives its large globular crimson flowers very freely in November and December; their fragrance is then delightful.

The Hybrid Perpetual Rose.
White.
To these we may now add some varieties of a new race which have been raised from seed at Lyons, the birthplace of so many fine roses. These are hybrids, partaking of the colour and nature of our fine old Noisette Aimee Vibert. Louise Darzens, Lady Emily Peel, and Madame Alfred de Rougemont, are the new roses of this race, and although they do not give such large and perfect flowers as Madame Rivers or Madame Vidot, they are yet very desirable; their habit is distinct, and they bloom freely in large clusters.
