Tea Rose - Glore de Dijon by Prof Page, Washington, D.C.
The following particulars are worthy of note at this time concerning this matchless Rose. I have twice before alluded, in your journal, to a Dijon bush which made an aggregate growth last season of 75 feet. That bush is now, April 6th, pushing vigorously at the very summit of its long branches, many of the shoots being six inches long, and well filled with leaves, and is the most forward Rose bush on the place. The remarkable feature about it, is, that while the thousands of Tea, Noisette and Bourbon Roses on my grounds have been destroyed, to within two or three inches from the ground, this Rose bush should not have been injured in the least, belonging as it does to the tenderst class of roses. Imagine this monarch of roses a month hence, loaded with its huge globular and cupped flowers of incarnate and yellow, and salmon hues, and you have some conception of the value of Gloire de Dijon, hardly yet appreciated by our amateurs.

Hardiness of China Roses.
By Charles G. Page, Washington, D.C.
There is probably no variety of rose that will endure a temperature of zero Fahrenheit upon unripened branches, and expanded leaf buds; and there are probably very few roses that will not endure this temperature provided the wood has been fully ripened and the buds are all dormant and the sap quiet.  The Gloire de Dijon is an excellent illustration.  It belongs to a tender family, but is perfectly hardy here.  Its hardiness is not, however, entirely intrinsic, but depends upon its habit of growth.  Unlike Teas and Noisettes generally, it stops growing in the fall, and is not apt to be quickened again till the spring.  It prepares for winter like a Remontant, and has proved itself here more hardy than the majority of Remontants.  In that rigorous winter of 1855-6, it stood better than La Reine, Madame Laffay, Wm. Griffith, and others.  This winter has been thus far very destructive to Teas and Noisettes, but the Dijon is unharmed.  The bush recently described to you upon an cast wall of the house, although it grew 75 feet the past year, exhibits no appearance of injury.  Another bush upon a south wall is somewhat injured, and one upon a north wall is not injured in the least.

Walter Elder, Philada.
The Rose gives fragrance to all its colors; but the Gloire de Rosamond, which approaches nearest to scarlet, is as scentless as the Yellow Harrison.

NEW ROSES. -- Of new roses, Mons. Margottin has but two to send out this autumn. One of these, Louise Margottin, will be a decided acquisition. It is a seedling of Louise Odier, of the same shape and character, the color is a very high blush pink, and the habit vigorous-- in fact, I should, perhaps, well give an idea of it when I say that it is a Modèle de Perfection in the Hybrid Perpetuals, fuller and more vigorous in growth than that pretty Bourbon. I very much mistake if this will not be a very favorite flower. It is a somewhat curious thing, that although Louise Odier was raised by Mons. Margottin fifteen years ago, and has always seeded freely; and although he has had roses from it of all shades of color, from pure white up to dark crimson, that they have all proved worthless in their habit, and have departed in the first or second year of their brief existence, here, at last, he has obtained one vigorous in habit, and good in other respects. The other rose, also a Hybrid Perpetual, was not in bloom, and is not yet named; I conclude, therefore, that Louise Margottin is the better of the two..
