However, now and again a real good thing comes along. Mr. Alfred Williams, of Runcorn, who is the father of rose growing in Queensland, if not of Australia, has obtained a crimson sport from white Maman Cochet. It has been named Arthur Moore after one of New South Wales greatest rose experts, and whose interesting notes on roses and their treatment are the delight of all lovers of this flower. Mr. Moore, who is perhaps the most reliable authority in Australia on rose lore, and to whom I am greatly indebted for accurate descriptions of new varieties, gives the following account of this new variety. : The plant is but a small one as yet, but several of our leading nurserymen have seen it and pronounce it, with me, as absolutely a Cochet in every characteristic of growth. This rose is Australian, and is of undoubted purity of birth and pedigree. And what a colour it has developed. I at first blush named its tints as precisely the same as Princess de Sagan, then in bloom alongside it, but as the flower opened, I saw deeper and finer shading, and finally I could discover nothing to liken it to but Francois Dubreuil. This is the description of it by the most correct and fearless writer on roses in Australia, and every rose lover in Queensland will, I am sure, join me in heartily congratulating Mr. Williams on his success.
