Leveque et fils announce three which may be added to the list of this class [of light-colored Hybrid Perpetuals], and if the descriptions be accurate they will doubtless prove valuable. They are as follows:
Hybrid Perpetual, Comtesse de Mailly-Nesle, very large and full, of fine form, beautiful clear flesh color shaded with white, blooms abundantly the season throughout, while plant is vigorous.

Two Roses or One, Again.
In answer to T.H.M. in October number of the Magazine, I would say that in my opinion the favorite old rose that seems an exact counterpart of the much-praised new rose Dinsmore, is Madame Charles Wood. I have known of nurserymen that have grown the two side-by-side and could detect no difference between them. Mad. Charles Wood does not grow as tall as many hybrid perpetuals, is exceedingly thorny, and bears throughout the whole season quantities of large double roses of the brightest, richest crimson. No finer rose of its color is grown. I am inclined to think it a variable sort, and in some localities it may not show its fine coloring and other good qualities. While the Dinsmore so nearly resembles a good specimen of Madame Charles Wood as to make distinction difficult, it is yet probable that it is an entirely different rose, and while we can hope for no finer rose than Madame Charles Wood when at its best, if the Dinsmore is more constant in character in some soils and locations, the two would appear quite distinct, and the Dinsmore the more desirable of the two.  L. S. La Mance.

I was fortunate in finding a cluster of Jacqueminot Roses and a Gloire de Rosamond, and I was happy, too, in finding a cluster of glistening Malmaison Roses. Oh, how beautiful the flowers were that glad day!

Gloire Lyonnaise was sent out as a yellow Hybrid Perpetual, which it proves not to be, but it is not a failure, for it is a superb cream-colored Rose.

Little Gem may be mentioned on account of its dwarf size — a miniature Moss Rose bush, quite compact and bearing profusely small, crimson, double flowers, beaurifully mossed.
