I look in vain for fine flowers of such Roses as 'A. K. Williams', 'Duchess of Bedford', 'Earl of Dufferin', Reynolds Hole, 'Victor Hugo', 'Xavier Olibo'. They appear to have long reached their zenith and only linger here and there, as shadows of their former beauty.

Two other new English Roses, both raised from seed by Mr George Paul, remain to be noticed. The "Cheshunt Hybrid" is a very singular and striking Rose. At first sight it seems to belong to the Hybrid Perpetual family, and to be of the Victor Verdier, Henri Ledechaux, and Countess of Oxford type; but on examination it has all the characteristics in wood, leaf, and habit of the Tea-scented China Rose. The flower and the foliage are both beautiful, and the growth is as luxuriant as that of Blairii 2—than which we have no more exuberant Rose. It has received a first-class certificate, and "Cheshunt Hybrid" (pleasing in every point except the name, which might be advantageously changed to Beauty of Cheshunt) cannot fail to be a general favourite.
Need I say how happy I should be if a similar popularity should be extended to the next and last new English Rose upon my list—I mean, to 'Reynolds Hole', so named by the raiser in recognition of our long and hearty friendship ? Many years ago another of the floral brotherhood, whom I very highly esteem, was pleased to pay me a similar compliment; but the Reynolds Hole sent out by John Standish did not realise his expectations, and, with some hundreds of other Roses, has all but gone out of cultivation; so that I rejoice to be again replaced and represented in the world of Roses by a new and very promising variety. 'Reynolds Hole' a seedling from the Duke of Edinburgh, also raised at Cheshunt, much resembles Louis Van Houtte. It is a Rose of great substance (like its synonym), and of a very rich deep crimson complexion, such as the original might be supposed to assume when carrying a box of Roses up the Crystal Palace steps, when bowling to his boy beneath a burning sun, when hearing some remark made in disparagement of floral propensities or of floral men; or when told, as he hopes to be told, that 'Reynolds Hole' has found a home and a welcome with all those who love the Rose.
