These new roses will, no doubt,take their places in the list if they do as well as theold established Killarney, which there is every reasonto believe they will do. Before so many hybrids were cultivated, andwhen roses were not grown to as great an extent asnow, sports were naturally less frequent. Of coursevarieties which are crosses, such as the hybrids oftoday, are very much more likely to give different 26. THE PROPAGATION OF ROSES growth or different bloom than the old varieties,which were not so far removed from the originalspecies. Changes in habit of growth occur as well aschanges in bloom, and a great many of the HybridTeas and some Polyanthas have produced sportswhich have much more of a climbing habit than thedwarf bush from which such new varieties bloom in form and color is practically identicalwith the parent stock, although its period of floweringis usually shorter and its bloom less profuse. There is one very interesting illustration of a rosewhich sported, the new growth of which when prop-agated reverted to the original form of its parentstock. Heinrich Schultheis, a Hybrid Perpetualrose of deep, rosy pink, sported with Paul & Sons,of London, and produced Pauls Early Blush, alight silvery pink.
