New Roses.
I observed a short time since the floricultural editor of the Gardener's Chronicle inquiring why our favourite Rose should be named Le Geant des Batailles; he suggested it ought to have been Champ des Batailles: surely he ought not to have been at a loss. Was not Napoleon the Géant? and is he not alluded to by Frenchmen at all times and in every thing when at all possible? Thus we have the Standard of Marengo- by the way, this fine rich-coloured Rose has bloomed admirably the past autumn; it requires a very good soil- and we shall have, the forthcoming season, in our flower-stands, "Le Lion des Combats" and "L'Etendard du Grand Homme"; thus we have four Roses named after his memory. Napoleon, always Napoleon: "Vive l'Empire"—des Roses!  —T. R.
