I still grow Gloire de Rosomenes, raised in 1825, and Souvenir de David D' Angers, 1856, and they are the best winter roses I have.

Rose Betty Berkeley (W. H. S.) — The Tea Rose Betty Berkeley Is one of the finest deep-red bedding Roses in cultivation, and quite recently we saw a whole bed of it which had been planted last autumn in an amateur's garden in Hertfordshire, and it had proved an immense success. The plant is not a strong grower, and requires fairly thick planting. In our opinion it is really a China-Tea like Mme. Laurette Messimy and Mme. E. Resal. The wood is rather spindling, but the plants are nice bushy growers. The flowers are produced singly, and are held well up on stiff stalks; they are not much more than semi-double, but are singularly beautiful both in shape and colour. The latter is a rich and intense deep red, a tint that is much needed in the garden. You will find this variety most excellent for cutting, as it possesses long stalks, and lasts well in water. The buds are long and oval, and the petals of the fully expanded flowers reflex, as in those of Dr. Grill. The young growth is richly coloured, and the foliage is small and well glazed. It forms a most beautiful half-standard, and in fact seems good in all ways.

The following varieties are all my own originations. I have tested all of them for many years and I believe they are all worthy of a trial in your garden. I do not have very large stocks of them and there are not very many plants of some to be sent out this year.
