"American Roses" by H. B. Ellwanger.
John Champney of Charleston, from the seed of the White Musk Rose fertilised by the Blush China, raised a variety which was called Champney's Pink Cluster. A few years after this, Philippe Noisette, from the seed of Champney's Pink Cluster, raised the Blush Noisette, and this he sent to his brother, Louis Noisette of Paris, under the name of Noisette Rose. The true name, therefore, for this class should be the Champney, but the change cannot now be made. [...]
Champney's Pink Cluster (John Champney). Very vigorous; flowers pink, semi-double.

NB: Ellwanger has left the 's' off from the end of Mr. Champneys' name, and so has his apostrophe in the wrong place for the rose's name.

Among Tea Roses there has been a much greater advance even, than among the Perpetuals.  The following comprise the finest new sorts:
...Cheshunt Hybrid (1873)...

In Aline Sisley, Cheshunt Hybrid and Duchess of Edinburg [sic], we have three red and crimson Teas darker in color than any of the old varieties, and affording a pleasing contrast to those of delicate light tints.  Cheshunt Hybrid has also proved a fine green-house climber, and as it is hardy, would probably do well as a climber out of doors.

Some Plants of Recent Prominence.
The rose, Dorothy Perkins, is receiving words of approbation on all hands, and evidently is worthy of general planting. It has shown itself to be very hardy, free from disease, keeping its foliage in perfection all through the season; blooms in great profusion and holds its blooms well; color of flowers is a clear shell-pink; long stems of flowers can be used with the finest effects in many forms of decorations and in wreaths.

Notrworthy New Roses.
The Hybrid Tea Roses steadily receive access to their ranks every year, and some of them are of great beauty and worth.  One of especial merit as a garden variety is brought out the present season; this is Etoile de France, a French introduction.  It is the result of a cross between Madame Abel Chatenay and that old favorite Hybrid Perpetual, Fisher Holmes.  It is said to be a plant of great hardiness, vigor of growth and freedom of bloom; growth upright, shoots with few thorns, and dark bronzy-green foliage; flowers large, full, cup-shaped, and borne singly on long stiff stems, very fragrant and petals of firm substance; color, rich velvety-crimson, brighter at the center.  The introducer, J. Pernet-Ducher, one of the best known French rosarians, who has sent out many excellent varieties, claims this to be the most valuable rose he has ever offered.

Mr. W. C. Barry... presented the following report:
On Tree and Herbaceous Pæonies.
 Festiva— This is a sort of which too much can not be said in praise. Whoever possesses a plant of Festiva Pæony has something which will procure more pleasure and greater satisfaction than money can afford, applied in anyway you choose, or in the acquisition of any object whatsoever. Imagine a plant three feet high, with beautiful dark green glossy foliage, and peering away above ten to fifteen large heads of bloom, each six to nine inches in diameter, pure white, marked here and there with bright streaks of carmine, just enough to show how pure the white is and how beautifully the carmine contrasts with it. Match this with an Ambroise Verschaffelt or a Delachii, and you have a picture or a pair of them, fit for the great and mighty ones of the earth to admire- but within the reach of the humblest citizen to possess.
