Tea Rose Perle de Lyon
It is described by our friend M. Sisley, as a vigorous grower, the young stems purplish, the leaves richly bronzed, the flower-buds elegantly conical, and the flowers cupped-globular, and of a most delicate pale yellow color shading to citron in the centre. Yellow roses are in high favor with English amateurs....

New Roes - E. Verdier, the celebrated rose grower of Paris, send us the following list and descriptions of the best new roses of the past year:
HYBRID PERPETUALS
Thomas Mills Tree (sic) very vigorous with erect somewhat reflexed light green shoots and irregular short, nearly straight rosy spines. Leaves with 5 leaflets, large, accuminated, of a dark green, and finely serrated. Flowers extra large, full and of fine cup-shape; color dazzling bright rosy carmine with whitish stripes; very free bloomer, and altogether of the greatest merit.

Triomphe des Rosomanes, flowers excellent form, large and full, deep black velvety crimson, shaded with red towards the edges.

In "A Visit To The Greenhouses of Chas. F. Evans," by E.L.: It will surprise those who have paid a visit to the greenhouses of Mr. Evans, to learn that Mr. Bennett removes the plants of the Bennett rose from the greenhouse in the spring to frames in the open air! because at Rowlandville, since the rose has been in bloom, no visitors have been allowed inside the house where it is flowering. In other houses where young plants are growing in pots, visitors are not excluded. So that it is clearly not because they are afraid of plants being stolen, for it is easier to take a plant in a thumb pot than one three feet high growing in a bed.
Last autumn Mr. Evans predicted that the days of General Jacqueminot were numbered, for he expected the the ever-blooming Bennett would annihilate the "Jacque," and a respectable fortune would be result....Jacques have been somewhat cheaper than usual this season, but the Bennett has had no influence on the price. When it will be sold with its own stems and leaves, it may command good prices, in the early part of the season, before Jacques come in good....The Bennett is far superior to anything we have had before in its line of color.....for while no attempt was made to propagate it in any quantity, but since it has not proven such a bonanza in the sale of the buds as was expected through the clause forbidding leaf buds to go with flowers, a stock is being worked up as rapidly as possible, Mr. Evans hoping to gain the permission of Mr. Bennett to put the plants on the market at a much earlier date than the contract calls for.

In buying rose buds, florists require long stems to the flowers. There are leaf buds on these stems, from which the plant may be propagated. But the Bennett rose was sold with the condition that the purchaser should have the right to sell the flowers but not the plants-hence to keep people from getting plants, he has to destroy the leaf buds before he sells the flowers.

In "The W.F. Bennett Rose," by Henry Bennett: Perhaps it will interest your readers to know on authority that "William F. Bennett" will, in all probability, be in commerce in May, 1885, as, at the request of so many of my correspondents, wishing to possess this rose, I think it only right to withdraw the restriction. The matter is now in Mr. Evans' hands, as to the price and times of distribution.
