One of the grandest sights to be seen is a large plant of Climbing Wootton, loaded down with a wealth of exquisitely modeled buds and flowers. It has one very desirable quality- it is almost absolutely impervious to insect attacks. The growth is rapid and vigorous, devoid of all weak spots; its superb, fragrant flowers are produced throughout the season.

Famous Roses.
Bon Silene, Coquette de Lyon, Isabella Sprunt, Safrano, Clement Nabonnand and Duchesse de Brabant are not new Roses.  Long have they been known and very general culture they have received.  Other Roses... are really in advance of my old favorites, that rely on their numerous and lovely buds for popularity, but herein they excel.  All six of them make fine buds during long seasons of bloom. [...]
Duchesse de Brabant is pink, but what a pink!  I believe it is the loveliest Rose bud in existence.  The color is bright but delicate, clear like the pink inside of a shell, never varying nor growing dull in the hottest, driest Summer days.  Massed in Rose bowls, with no other flower, its beautiful pink looks like a pile of rosy clouds when the sun bursts through just after a summer rain.  De La Barth is almost a synonym of Brabant, but not quite as beautiful.

Mrs. G. T. Drennan, Louisiana. Cornelia Cook - A Rose That is a Model of Beauty.
Luxuriance of growth is a charm itself, but particularly so when combined with delicacy and perfect beauty. Cornelia Cook is one of the chaste and spotless white Tea Roses that is characterized by the most unusual luxuriance of shining, clean, healthy green foliage. Were the lovely buds, as white as snow, and the queenly full-blown Roses less perfect than they are, the rich green foliage and the symmetrical form of the luxuriant bush would commend Cornelia Cook to culture.
As soon as Spring opens and vegetation begins growth, this fine old Tea Rose begins its promise. Even a casual observer would remark the fine appearance, the promise of florescence the luxuriant Rose-bush makes, in advance of the majority of other Roses. When the buds are on the bush the numbers are great. They cover the dark-green mass of shining leaves like a shower of pearls. Gleaming white, sometimes tinged with pale gold in the open Rose, the yield of Cornelia Cook is royal. For cut-flower purposes no Rose surpasses it; there is always an abundance of buds to cut, and to leave on the bush to make the queenly open Roses. Cornelia Cook grows thriftily, making many and many bloom-branches, after the manner of some of the Jasmines and other free-flowering, luxuriant shrubs.
Tea Roses are all true ever-bloomers, but some varieties exceed others in vigor and heavy bloom production. Cornelia Cook exceeds many of the class in vigor, but does not begin heavy florescence until well established. It requires age before it blooms its best. Age means about three years of outdoor growth. Then it blooms and blooms and keeps on blooming, as the writer can testify, by bringing forward the cut flowers for twenty and more years. It is a long-lived Rose. Adverse seasons may detract from its growth and blooming, as in '99, when the Winter's cold was phenomenal, but given caressing care, Cornelia Cook only wants one Summer time in which to repair all injuries.
Sometimes Roses do better taken up and reset in new places. Tea Roses of long life and vigorous growth do better to be thus changed from place to place, every five or six years. It is not absolutely necessary, but as in the case of this Cornelia Cook, an uplifting in the late Fall or Winter, when the bush is hibernating and roots dormant, trimming out every weak branch and cutting back the whole to within a few inches of the root will prepare the Rose for a new bedding place. Excavate deep and wide, fill in with adhesive soil and compost from the cow-stall, thoroughly incorporated, water, set the bush down in the middle and fill up to the surface with the same admixture of garden soil and dairy compost, firming it evenly over the roots. Near the surface, sand, ashes and leaf mold may be added to the compost, and when all is filled in, mulch the surface with broken bits of cured or dried cow chips. The transplanted old Rose will renew its youth, with added vigor. An eastern position is the best for Tea Roses. The evening sunshine in Southern gardens is exhausting to ever-blooming Roses, unless they are regularly watered. The morning sun is invigorating and of sufficient length for Roses, without burning them; but all Roses cannot have just this particular exposure, so that extra care must be given those in less favored places. Give Cornelia Cook several places in the flower garden. Plant it in conspicuous places, and fill up the spare corners with it, and then look around for more places and set more Cornelia Cooks, and the garden will be beautified with rich, luxuriant growth and lovely white buds and full-blown Roses from early till late. Never a day will be without blooms.
Cornelia Cook declined in popularity on account of not beginning to bloom at an early stage of growth. The first year it makes nice, thrifty growth, but probably no blooms, and the second year becomes a handsome bush, of uncommon luxuriance, but the blooms will be rather few. Toward the late Summer and Fall of the second year there will be Roses in abundance, but for the Spring and early Summer do not expect many. The third year, and from that on and on, no Rose blooms more regularly and in greater numbers, and none more free from diseases or inherent weaknesses of any kind. This is a grand old Rose. It deserves a boom.

The Crimson Rambler Rose for two years past has, in France, at two different places, given specimens of bloom in Autumn borne on a new growth of shoot, thus indicating a remontant character. The stems, which have shown this twice blooming habit, have been propagated, and after a year or two more it will be known whether this habit is quite fixed. If it should prove to be so the remontant Crimson will be in great demand. However, there is yet too much uncertainty in the case to warrant great confidence in the result, and possibly if we are to have a truly valuable remontant Rambler it may be the result of some judicious cross yet to be made.

Story of a Rose-The So-called Dewey is Really the Dean Hole.
Rosarians are greatly disturbed because of the interference of florists with the names of Roses. Considerable indignation is expressed at the way in which the Dean Hole Rose has been placed upon the market as the Admiral Dewey Rose. In 1894, when Dean Hole, of Rochester, England, visited this country, the Rose Caroline Testout produced a distinct sport and this sport was christened at a banquet given to Dean Hole by the most eminent floriculturists of the United States in honor of the guest. This Rose was again christened in Madison Square the year following, and the owner, Mr. Taylor, was awarded a certificate. At several subsequent floricultural high functions the name was indorsed.
After Admiral Dewey's great victory, however, a New York Rose dealer, who had become possessed of the Dean Hole, sold the cut flowers as Admiral Dewey Roses. The Rose growers, who have hitherto been the final court of appeal in regard to the names of Roses, are not disposed to concede this privilege; and it is only the great glory and honor of Dewey's name that keeps them from legally testing the question of nomenclature in this particular case. It may be that Admiral Dewey may have to defend his Rose with his sword.
Dean Hole is a clergyman of the Church of England, and has mildly remarked that his Rose seems to be a "sport" of circumstances.-Exchange.
[It is a deplorable fact that honorable Rosarians would attempt to inveigle the flower-loving public into buying an old Rose for a supposed new one. Many times such grievous mistakes are made by parties who know little or nothing of the Rose-growing business and its requirements. But an honorable and well-informed Rosarian will not indulge in such deception, nor would such work be allowed to continue. The publishers of SUCCESS WITH FLOWERS take no little pride in announcing that they have recently introduced a grand new Rose, which they have named Victory, a beautiful colored plate of which will be found in their handsome Rose Guide for 1899. Inasmuch as this new Rose is an improved General Jacqueminot, it will undoubtedly be appreciated in all lands by those who love and grow the Queen of Flowers. -ED.]

My front veranda, some forty feet in length, has at the south end an Empress of China rose with canes over twenty-five feet long, and often has hundreds of its delicate apple-blossom blooms at once.

p. 194: General Robert E. Lee [engraving]

p. 204: This year we hear of the Albertine Borguet, American Perfection, Baronne Ada, Caroline Fochier, August Wattine, and a long list of new Tea Roses, all of which are no doubt beauties, because no one ever yet saw a Rose that was not beautiful, but those of us who know the merits of the Aline Sisley, Bougere, Anna Oliver, General Robert E. Lee, Beaute Inconstante, Catherine Mermet and Cornelia Cook and others of the "oldtimers," are sure that we can recommend them to our friends as being of the very first water.

Autumn-blooming Roses.
Gloire de Margottin is a superb red Rose, perhaps scarlet (at least nearer to that bright shade than any other Rose), blooming with great freedom until frost.
