THE ROSARY By Dog Rose.
Sweet-Scented Roses.
During the last few weeks some blooms of America have come under notice. Although we were not greatly impressed with this rose for the first two years after it was issued it seems to be improving, and looks as though it will be a very good variety. It is a good colour, sweetly scented, and well formed.

Antoine Rivoire.—This variety has been a general favourite for many years, but I am inclined to think that it has not all the qualities of a rose that one could wish for. It is a good grower, making a shapely bush, and the flowers are of imbricated form, and a charming clear flesh pink. They are borne on long, stout stems, and are held erect. The only fault I have to find with it is that it produces two good crops of flowers, but it does not seem to produce many flowers in between these crops, and to be a first-class rose it should flower more freely than it does. This may seem very critical, and some lovers of this variety may not quite agree with these remarks. For a big display of bloom in the spring Antoine Rivoire is one of the best roses grown.

FORTY-EIGHT PRIZE ROSES.
At the October Show held in the Adelaide Town Hall the Horticultural Society offered a prize for the best collection of forty-eight cut blooms from differently named Roses. This prize was secured by Mr. Edwin Smith, of Clifton Nursery, with the following, each of which was a good "Show" flower [...] 
Belle Emilie (Tea-scented) whitish cream, large, full, cup shape.

THE ROSARY. By Dog Rose. [...] Early Spring Roses. Already, some of the early spring roses are starting to flower, and last week I noticed some one carrying a fair-sized bunch of crimson Black Boys. This rose is one of the earliest climbers, and if the plants are left unpruned they usually produce some flowers during August, and come into full bloom during the early part of September.

BORDERER.—This delightful little dwarf rose has continued to flower without a break since October. It varies a little at this time of the year in colour, but it has a most delightful effect in the garden. During this week I have cut a whole bowl of this rose, and it has kept wonderfully well. It is a peculiar grower, the plants keeping almost flat on the ground, and I know of no better rose for a dwarf border than this is. In addition to its beautiful colour it also has a strong sweet briar perfume.

THE ROSARY. By Dog Rose. [...] Early Spring Roses.  [...] The little dwarf rose Borderer has already produced a few blooms which were beautiful in colour. This rose, when it flowers early, is much better in colour than during the late spring. It has a distinct sweet briar perfume, and is a little gem for a dwarf edging to the rosebeds.

Hot Weather Varieties.
The climbing variety of Chateau de Clos Vougeot has been flowering continually throughout the month. It has been remarkable to notice how the flowers stood up to the hot weather. Most other red roses were very badly burnt, and were almost disfigured, whilst Chteau de Clos Vougeot seemed to stand the heat well. This is probably due to the wonderful texture of the petals.
It is a great pity that this rose is not a better grower, and does not produce its blooms on longer stems. It is very difficult to secure flowers on stems sufficiently long for decoration.

THE ROSARY By Dog Rose.
Climbing Madame Abel Chatenay has been particularly good in my garden. The plant is of true climbing habit, sending out long growths in all directions. The blooms produced by the climber are unusually fine, and it is free flowering.

Climbing Maman Cochet, the pink variety, has also been remarkably good in its climbing habit, and, although plants at times are seen which do not climb well, this rose does not seem to go back to the bush habit in the way that some other climbing roses do that have been evolved as sports.
A plant of this rose  not more than five years old has covered a space of 15 feet in width and being more than 15 feet in height shows the vigorous nature of the plants.

THE ROSARY By Dog Rose.
Two good blooms of Climbing Sunburst were seen this week, and, owing to the cold weather, they were of excellent colour; in fact, far richer than they were during the spring.
This rose is a tremendous grower and a true climber in every respect, sending out long canes from all parts of the plant, which flower well. The foliage is a little sparse, but the plant makes up for this by its free-flowering habit.
