Madame Eugene Marlitt.
One of the best of the newer Roses for garden purposes. It is exceptionally healthy, vigorous and free blooming. The flowers are large, very double and full. The color is a rich bright carmine, with reddish tone, and does not fade or bleach in the hottest weather. It is quite hardy and the flowers are delightfully fragrant.

The original species of the White Rose (Rosa alba) is a native of the central part of Europe, and was introduced into Great Britain in 1597. The flowers are small; the colours are white, blush, flesh and pink. They are readily distinguished from all other Roses by the glaucous appearance of the foliage, which appears as if covered with a grayish, impalpable powder. They are perfectly hardy, and of easy cultivation. A type of this class is finely represented by the well-known variety Madame Plantier.

The Polyantha Remontant Rose (R. Polyantha) was brought from Japan by Robert Fortune about the year 1865, and is distinguished from all others by its panicled blooms. This peculiarity is not retained, however, when crossed with other Roses, at least in most of the varieties which have been claimed to be seedlings of it.
