Leveque et fils announce three which may be added to the list of this class [of light-colored Hybrid Perpetuals], and if the descriptions be accurate they will doubtless prove valuable. They are as follows:
Hybrid Perpetual, Comtesse de Mailly-Nesle, very large and full, of fine form, beautiful clear flesh color shaded with white, blooms abundantly the season throughout, while plant is vigorous.

Two Roses or One, Again.
In answer to T.H.M. in October number of the Magazine, I would say that in my opinion the favorite old rose that seems an exact counterpart of the much-praised new rose Dinsmore, is Madame Charles Wood. I have known of nurserymen that have grown the two side-by-side and could detect no difference between them. Mad. Charles Wood does not grow as tall as many hybrid perpetuals, is exceedingly thorny, and bears throughout the whole season quantities of large double roses of the brightest, richest crimson. No finer rose of its color is grown. I am inclined to think it a variable sort, and in some localities it may not show its fine coloring and other good qualities. While the Dinsmore so nearly resembles a good specimen of Madame Charles Wood as to make distinction difficult, it is yet probable that it is an entirely different rose, and while we can hope for no finer rose than Madame Charles Wood when at its best, if the Dinsmore is more constant in character in some soils and locations, the two would appear quite distinct, and the Dinsmore the more desirable of the two.  L. S. La Mance.

I was fortunate in finding a cluster of Jacqueminot Roses and a Gloire de Rosamond, and I was happy, too, in finding a cluster of glistening Malmaison Roses. Oh, how beautiful the flowers were that glad day!

Gloire Lyonnaise was sent out as a yellow Hybrid Perpetual, which it proves not to be, but it is not a failure, for it is a superb cream-colored Rose.

LIBERTY —  A HYBRID TEA. The frontispiece this month shows a late acquisition that has proved itself to be of more than ordinary value. A year ago an account was given in these pages of Liberty rose, and the promise it gave of superior qualities. Another year’s testing has shown that the original estimate of its character was correct, and now it stands unrivalled as a dark red rose suitable for winter forcing or for garden culture. It will, no doubt, quickly supersede Meteor for the former purpose, as the latter requires a higher temperature than most other roses under glass. Liberty is a seedling resulting from a cross of an unnamed seedling of Mrs Grant (Belle Siebrecht), and Victor Hugo, a hybrid perpetual, and was raised by A. Dickson & Sons, of Ireland, who sold the entire stock of it to Ernest G. Asmus, of West Hoboken, N. J., who has since propagated it, and this spring, in March, it was first sent out and is now in the hands of the public. The flowers from which the sketch was made for our colored plate this month were kindly supplied us, last January, by Mr. Asmus. Mr. Asmus, who has had a large experience as a rose grower, states that Liberty blooms still more freely than Meteor, which is considered an abundant bloomer. In a house containing 1035 plants, during a period of four months ending the 1st. of January last year, he cut an average of twenty-two blooms from each plant. A writer in American Gardening, last year, referring to this rose when exhibited before the Horticultural Section of the American Institute, said, “this rose attracted the immediate attention of all comers, and much discussion took place as to how best describe its marvelous color, but in no other detail was opinion divided, for all agreed that it was facile princeps in the ranks of dark red roses, Whether by daylight, when the sun’s rays add fire to the clear ruby petals, or at night when a more or less yellow flame affords illumination, this rose ranks equally well.” Our readers have already been told how that at the exhibition of the American Rose Society in New York, in March last, Liberty won the cup offered for the best fifty blooms in the show.
