Rose Reine Carola de Saxe. Doubtless owing to the vast number of novelties each year it must happen that there are some varieties of merit that get overlooked. This has been the case with the above-named Rose; if not, how is it such a beautiful variety is found in few collections? -- indeed, I should say very few Rose growers know the Rose. It was raised by Gamon, and introduced in 1903. In form it is delightful, as may be seen by the illustration, and in colour it is a lovely flesh-pink, with a pale, nearly white, shade towards the edges of the petals. It is a Rose free from what I may term “floppiness,” a fault that so many of the Hybrid Teas possess. They are beautiful in their way, and I admire them for their informal beauty, but we turn to these solid, shapely Roses with a sense of relief, knowing that they will endure when the other forms have fallen. I do not say Reine Carola de Saxe is exactly a show bloom, although I should say it would make a good reliable front row flower, but for the garden it should certainly be included in a representative collection. Form will always command more homage than colour- not for decorative purposes, I grant, but for exhibition or cutting for vases, where the individual blossom is seen to perfection.
