Roses. By Dr O'Donel Browne M.D. [...] Dr. O'Donel Browne. — A grand strong grower, very nearly a H. P. in manners and customs, but a true H. T. Most of the gardening papers when reporting on it at the autumn show of N. R. S. made it a H. P., but its parents (I know them) are a H. P. and a pure Tea. The flowers I have seen of it are large, semi-globular, very full; best in the autumn. Colour — rosy carmine, but the perfume, this is glorious; I know of no rose that can equal it. I am sorry I cannot show a photo of this flower, as I cut my pot plants away for budding purposes, and I had hoped the raisers would send me a representative flower to photograph, but they have not done so. A truly grand flower, which everyone ought to, and will, I am sure, grow when they know its good qualities and glorious scent. The latest gold medal winner.

Dr. O'Donel Browne. —  A Hybrid Tea approaching closely to the Hybrid Perpetuals, raised by Messrs. Alexander Dickson and Sons of Newtownards and sent out by them this year. A fine-shaped flower, resembling Dupuy Jamain in colour and shape but coming much better than that old favourite, being particularly good in autumn. A good vigorous grower with very strong perfume, and, moreover, free flowering ; colour rosy carmine. Awarded a gold medal.
