This promising new Rose is a true hybrid obtained by Mr. Jackson Dawson of the Arnold Arboretum, by crossing- the Rosa multiflora with the well known Hybrid Perpetual, General Jacqueminot, the latter being its pollen parent. The result is a vigorous and hardy plant with a tendency to climb high. The spines and foliage are like those of the pollen parent, but the flowers are clustered like those of the Rosa multiflora, appearing in clusters of from ten to forty, and as the different buds on the clusters come into bloom in succession, the flowering season is continued for a long time. The color of the flowers is a light rose pink, and fades to a still lighter color, not turning purple. The plant seems perfectly hardy, and when it attains its full size it will probably cover a space fully twenty feet square. It promises to be a desirable addition to our hardy roses. This variety is described at length in " Garden and Forest," July 26, 1893, ^"^d accompanied by two tine illustrations from photographs. $ EMPRESS AUGUSTA VICTORIA (Tea). An extra fine white variety faintly blended with cream color ; very large, full and double, almost perfect in form, and it continues beautiful even when fully Its fragrance is a combination of tea and magnolia, and is very delightful and distinct from that of any other variety. Beautiful glossy foliage ; a vigorous grower and very free flowering, blooming at every shoot. Will undoubtedly prove very valuable for forcing. 50c. MADAME G. BRUANT (Hybrid Rugosa). One of the first of a new race of hybrids, and all things considered one of the best roses of recent years. In the bud state the flowers are long and pointed, when open, semi-double , pure white and fragrant, and produced freely in clusters at intervals throughout the summer. Exceptionally hardy and -c-igoroia.
