Roses of Distinctive Coloring. A small number of roses are so pe- culiarly colored as to deserve a few remarks. Of recent years this has be- come more noticeable, writes a corre- spondent in the Gardener's Magazine. Not all of these are new, however, for one of them is the Austrian Copper, with a color I fail to find in any other flower, much less in roses. Grand in- deed, is this oldest of roses, in its bright and glowing copper, shaded with clear terra-cotta. If it were only perpetual, and not so fleeting for the short time it is with us, it would be of immense value. Leading from this class of Austrian and Persian briars we flnd Soleil d'Or, in 1900, obtained from crossing Persian briar Harrisoni with Antoine Ducher. Here we have a color varying from deep orange- yellow to reddish-gold, shaded with nasturtium-red, and quite distinct from any other rose. A couple of years later we had Gottfried Keller, another remarkably shaded rose, vary- ing from clear apricot to orange and yellow, with veins of deep rosy-orange at the base of its petals.

Arthur R. Goodwin varies from cop- pery-red to salmon-pink. But one of the most unique shaded of all is Rayon d'Or, a rose there is consider- able discussion about just now, be- cause of its very indifferent behaviour up to the present.
