Bardou Job (Nabonnand). — This rose, sent out as a tea, although a seedling from 'Gloire des Rosomanes', follows its parent in being a rampant grower, a thorough autumnal, and producing rich, crimson semi-double flowers of delicious fragrance. A useful crimson climber if it prove distinct enough from the older variety.

The first variety of new rose worthy of recommendation is 'Betty Berkeley' — a true tea of an intense crimson or blood-red color, with long buds on firm footstalks. Tea roses of this color and of stiff habit are exceedingly valuable, as the majority of true tea roses are pinks or paler colors.

Judging from the number of plants of the new rose ‘Black Boy’ that have been put out, every one planting roses this season must have secured one. This rose, raised by Mr. Alister Clark, of Victoria, and presented to the South Australian Horticultural Society, and National Rose Society of South Australia, these societies benefiting solely from the sales of the plants, is described as the darkest climbing variety yet offered. It is said to be a magnificent grower, mildew proof, and sweetly scented, and the color is a deep crimson, shaded blackish maroon, overlaying fiery scarlet, giving a rich luminous effect. The stock raised this season has been practically exhausted, and it is doubtful if a plant could now be obtained, but if you have not secured one already, it is worth trying to get one. The plants seen by “Genista” have all been well grown, while their excellent condition should result in good growth during the next few months, and growers will await with interest the opening of their first blooms.

A thousand plants of ‘Black Boy’, the darkest crimson climber ever sent out, show the remarkably strong growth of the rose. Every plant has been budded from buds sent to the firm by Mr. Alister Clark from his magnificent plants at Glenara, and every plant will be absolutely true. The firm are this year enabled to offer ‘Black Boy’ at 2/-, a reduction of 1/6 on last year’s price, and if ‘Black Boy’ is required it will be advisable to purchase from this source.

Caroline d'Arden (Dickson). — This rose, raised from a cross between the two best red Hybrid Perpetuals in cultivation, 'A. K. Williams' and 'Marie Baumann', proves worthy of its parentage, and has already taken a high place in the estimation of rosarians. The blooms of it exhibited at Manchester last July elicited the greatest admiration; but it is not a rose to be appreciated only by exhibitors, although they cannot fail to find it invaluable, for in addition to the important qualities of size and fine form the flowers are deliciously fragrant, with large, very smooth petals of great substance and of a most attractive shade of pure soft rose color. The plant grows vigorously and flowers well in autumn.

SOUTH AUSTRALIAN GARDENERS' SOCIETY. The monthly meeting of the Gardeners' Society was held [...]
Mr. A. H. Scarfe, of Unley Park, exhibited some fine blooms of early tea roses, notably a magnificent specimen of Madam Cochet, a rose rapidly coming into favor as one of the best of the teas; also Marechal Neil, White M. Neil, Niphetos, Reine Marie Henriette, Cloth of Gold. Goulbalt, Louis Laurens, and Dr. Quin, a robust red climber, like Madame Lambard, strongly recommended by the grower as a decided acquisition to this class of roses.

Duchess of Leeds (Mack). - A seedling from 'La France', possessing its parent's characteristic habit of growth and type of flower, less in size and substance, but considerably deeper in color, and likely to make a very pretty garden rose.

Duchesse d'Auerstradt (Barnaix). - A seedling from Reve d'Or. It seems likely to prove a distinct addition to the climbing teas of the 'Gloire de Dijon' race, having deep yellow flowers with a slightly orange shade.

Georges Pernet (Pernet fils). - A very pretty addition to the dwarf ever blooming Polyantha roses, producing trusses of bright rosy flowers with a yellow base, rather large for the type, and well worth growing.
