It may interest lovers of Rose Species to know that Rosa lucens is now (February 20th) carrying its foliage, and presents a very bright appearance, even after the severe frosts we have had...Paul utilised it as a seed parent, and produced the variety "The Premier " from it, and no doubt hybridists would find it a valuable parent, which would, perhaps, give us a race of evergreen Roses. It makes a most graceful tall

The American rosarian always associates the name of Paul & Sons with the introduction of the first Hybrid Tea rose, Cheshunt Hybrid. Mr. Paul retained to the last his keen desire to produce "something better." He was most enthusiastic over two varieties which seem to be particularly promising. These were: The Premier, a climbing hybrid of Rosa lutescens, and Paul's Perpetual-flowering Lemon Pillar. The Premier was of an extremely vigorous habit of growth, with enormous rhododendron-like clusters of blush flowers, often twenty-five or thirty flowers in a cluster.

Rose The Premier.—An exceedingly beautiful cluster Rose described by the exhibitor as a cross between Rosa Lucens and an unknown Hybrid Tea variety. The result is a very vigorous, free-flowering, evergreen Rose suitable for such purposes as furnishing tall pillars for making a tall Rose hedge or clothing a bank. The semi-double flowers, which are over 2 inches across, are a beautiful blush pink in bud and when first open. This colour fades to white with age. Award of merit to Messrs. G. Paul and Son.

Premier. Hybrid of Rosa lucens x Tea (G. Paul & Son).. This is another new break that Mr. George Paul has given us, and promises to be the forerunner of a very useful type of climbing Roses. The flowers are white, semi-double, produced in large clusters right along the rods, which are from 6 to 10 feet long. The foliage is a bright green, which, combined with the shiny shoots, makes it similar to the species from which it originated. Mr. Paul tells me that it is evergreen:.l. A very interesting and pretty novelty.
