...Ayrshire Queen, the only dark Ayrshire Rose known, was originated by myself, in 1835, from the blush Ayrshire, impregnated with the Tuscany Rose. But one seed germinated ; and the plant produced has proved a complete hybrid. Its flowers are of the same shape, and not more than double than those of the blush Ayrshire, its female parent ; but they have all the dark-purplish crimson of the Tuscany Rose. It has lost a portion of the vigorous climbing habit of the Ayrshire, but yet makes an excellent pillar rose.

...Banksieaeflora is more fragrant than the generality of these roses; it seems hybridised in a trifling degree with the Old Musk Rose, which has probably imparted a little of its delightful perfume; this has small and very double white flowers.

Bennet's Seedling, or Rosa Thoresbyana, is a variety found growing among some briars, by a gardener of the name of Bennet, in Nottinghamshire. It is a very pretty double and fragrant rose.
...I had in 1854 two standards of Bennet's seedling about ten years old; their stems are ten inches in circumference, their branches trail on the ground, and when in full bloom nothing can be more beautiful ; they have never been touched with the pruning knife.

The French Rose.
(Rosa gallica.)
Rosier de Provins.
Only a few of these roses are now worth retaining, remarkable for their fine shape and capability of being exhibited as 'show roses', i.e., as single blooms, in the manner of dahlias and other flowers. To describe them in as few words as possible, it will perhaps be the most eligible way to give their descriptions in groups thus:
For fine crimson roses we may take Boula de Nanteuil, D'Aguesseau, Gloire de Colmar, Grandissima, Kean, Latour d'Auvergne, Ohl, Schönbrunn, Triomphe de Jaussens; these are large, very double, and finely-shaped crimson roses, of slightly different shades.
