The Hybrid Perpetual Rose. (Rosier Hybride Remontante.)
Carmine and Cherry-coloured.
The Duke of Cambridge, Lord Palmerston, Le Ville de St. Denis, Madame Heraud, Madame Furtado- a perfect pattern of elegance in shape- and Madame Charles Crapelet, are the 'crème de la crème' of this group, and no roses can be more charming; they all, or nearly all, have an intensity of rose colour, if the expression may be used, which is of all colours the most pleasing; for do we not say ' the rosy morn,' the rosy hues of life, and employ many other expressions, all denoting the invariable charm of this most delightful of all tints?
