ROSE—LORD ELDON. The singularly coloured rose which we now figure is one of a class in which we are somewhat deficient—free-growmg, free-flowering climbers, and will therefore, we believe, be acceptable to those who, having walls with southern aspects, may be desirous of filling them with ornamental flowering plants. Recently we have received some English contributions to this class; for in Mr. Knight's Princess Louise Victoria, and in Mr. George Paul's climbing Victor Verdier, we have two excellent varieties of good habit; and Lord Eldon may be regarded, although in a different class, as a not unfitting companion. We are informed by Messrs. Paul and Son, of Cheshunt, into whose hands the stock has passed, that Lord Eldon was raised from seed by Mr. Coppin, of Shirley, near Croydon, from Cloth of Gold Noisette, and resembles its parent in habit and constitution, but is a freer bloomer. It will be useful as a coppery-coloured climber for a south wall, while its strong sweet perfume will greatly recommend it. It will be seen from the drawing that it is not an exhibition rose, being too loose in petal for that; but for the purposes named it will be well suited; and it was, no doubt, on account of its very distinct colour that it received from the Floral Committee of the Royal Horticultural Society the reward of a first-class certificate. Mr. Coppin speaks highly of its merits, and if it grows freely in his light soil, we may reasonably conclude that in richer and deeper soils it will grow more freely still. It will be let out by Messrs. Paul and Son in May next.

At the first exhibition held by the Royal Horticultural Society during the month [of May]...
The greatest interest was attached to the competition in the class for twelve plants, grown in pots not exceeding ten inches in diameter, because the limit to the size of the pot enabled the exhibitors to stage several of the newer kinds. Messrs. Paul and Son were also first in this class, as they well deserved to be, for the plants were in the most robust health, and superbly flowered. The varieties of which the collection consisted were Edward Morren, Comtesse d' Oxford, Reine d'Or, Jules Chretien, Duke of Edinburgh, Julie Touvais, Madame Eugene Verdier, Dupuy Jamain, Marquise de Castellane, Paul Neron, and Lord Eldon. The last-mentioned is a new tea variety, with large, globular, and full flowers of a clear salmon colour in the way of the well-known and justly-popular Gloire de Dijon. This was awarded a first-class certificate...

...The pot Roses were as usual good, but to my judgment not up to the usual lead, while the collection of new varieties did not present any very remarkable varieties. This must of necessity for some time not present its usual features of interest, unless, indeed, our English raisers come to the front, and a fine seedling yellow Rose exhibited by Messrs. George Paul & Son seemed to indicate that such would be the case.
In the class for twelve new Roses of 1868, 1869, and 1870 Messrs. Paul & Son were first. The most noticeable of their plants were Earl of Eldon, the yellow already referred to, a seedling from Cloth of Gold, very bright and large, and promising well...
