Bourbon Roses flower more freely than any of the others in autumn, and the kind that is best known in this section is probably Souvenir de la Malmaison... Acidalie, Baronne de Noirmont, Catherine Guillot, François Dugommier, and Reine Victoria are other good Bourbons.

The Bourbon Rose (Rosa Bourboniana) is a native of the Isle of Bourbon, and is supposed to be a hybrid between the common China and the Red Rose of Four Seasons.  It was introduced to France in 1822.  There are now a great number of varieties belonging to this class, including some of the best-known florists' flowers, such as Souvenir de la Malmaison, a rose that is nearly always in flower, and which no garden is complete without.  In the following list will be found most of the leading varieties:
Acidalie — A variety of vigorous habit, with blush white flowers.
