The floral magazine; comprising figures and descriptions of popular garden flowers. Vol. 5, t. 219 (1875) Plate 219. HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSE— OXONIAN. The Rose we have selected for figuring is one of the most distinct of all modern varieties, and is another representative of the English-raised seedlings which are just now becoming popular on account of their hardy, robust, and floriferous habit. It is one of a series to be sent out by Mr. Charles Turner, of Slough, next autumn, and well deserves a place in the most select collection. It was exhibited last year for the first time, and received several first-class certificates. It is a cup-shaped Rose, the petals being smooth, even, and of great substance. The colour is bright carmine, the backs of the petals being delicately shaded with pearly lilac. The ample foliage is stout and of a fresh green tint, without which the best Roses lose much of their attractiveness, especially when arranged for exhibition.
