The Autumnal Roses.
The Bourbon Roses are real "perpetuals" or "remontants" rather, blooming more or less freely from frost to frost again. They are less thorny than either [the Hybrid Perpetuals or Damask Perpetuals], the thorns being strong and usually light-colored. The leaves are firm, almost leathery, smooth and glossy. The petals or flower-leaves are also unusually thick, and with a peculiar satin-like or burnished appearance that adds much to their beauty, and enables them to endure the heat of a summer's sun hot enough to cause all others to flag. The growth is hardy and luxuriant.
18. Premices des Charpennes—pale rose, pink centre; petals stiff and singularly pointed; distinct and pretty; blooms in large clusters.
Bourbon roses require but little pruning. Towards the end of February, their shoots may be thinned, and the long ones shortened.

M. J. Cherpin , de Lyon, est très-connu des amateurs de roses. Semeur infatigable de la fleur de Vénus, travaillant sans relâche depuis douze ans à en multiplier les variétés en les faisant naître, il a obtenu déjà comme roses remarquables l'Enfant du Mont-Carmel, le Ludovic Letault et ces prémices des Charpennes qui souffrirent ce que souffrent tant de célébrités ici-bas, la négation de leur mérite d'abord et la réintégration dans leurs droits légitimes ensuite.
