The new rose Danmark, which was referred to last week, amongst the new roses being distributed by Mr. Paul, of Waltham Cross, is already in this colony. It was introduced by Mr. Charles Bennett, of Homebush, who has flowered it this season. Mr. Bennett thinks very well of it; and the flowers from his small plant were excellent. They are somewhat like La France, but the habit is quite different, and the flowers stand well up and erect, and are very full and solid. We are fortunate to have new roses distributed in this colony as soon as they are in England, and in fact some new varieties raised in France are offered for sale sooner here than they are in England.

Mr. Bennett [Standard Nursery] has just flowered a new rose named Gloire de Limbourne, which is a very pretty clear yellow tea, and this is likely to be an acquisition.

Mr. Bennett [Standard Nursery] has just flowered.....as well as a new variety named L'ideal, of a most remarkable colour, a sort of coppery yellow, with pinkish shade, but almost impossible to describe. Speaking of this rose, a writer in a late number of the Garden says: — "Nabonnand has undoubtedly raised some good things, and at last in "L'ideal' has given us a unique and most distinct rose that will, when it becomes better known, be extensively grown. It is somewhat in the way of 'W. A. Richardson', but abundantly distinct from it, having some of the same rich apricot tint, and in addition it is streaked and suffused with yellow and a peculiar shade of red. The long pointed buds are very pretty. Altogether, it is a novel and most beautiful rose, and it will assuredly win the popular fancy, through its bright and attractive colour, added to which the plant is a long, free, and continuous bloomer, and of climbing habit."

Hints about Roses.
Rose hedges are charming adjuncts to a garden. The common China is amongst the best varieties for the purpose. In time it will grow to 5 feet in height, as may be seen in many a cottage garden. A front row of Mrs. Bosanquet (same section) will make a variety in colour, and not grow so high. Bourbon Queen is also suitable, being a low, dense grower, most prolific in bloom. Fabvier and Cramoisie Superieure would give scarlet colours, but do not flower so freely. We do not recommend any mere summer flowering roses, and for the same reason hybrid perpetuals are scarcely suitable, being scarcely sufficiently continuous in bloom. The border in which a rose hedge is planted should be light and rich, and frequently renewed, because these plants are not to be lifted. Plants on their own roots only ought to be employed. — The Queen.

Horticultural Notes from English and Foreign Papers. 
Madame de Tartas. A writer in The Garden says of this rose:- “Amongst the many tea-scented roses which flower well in the autumn I know of none more free and later than this. I have lately seen several grand plants of this old rose. They were growing upon a wall, and had completely covered it for some 10 feet high. The plants were one mass of bloom, some few of the flowering shoots which I counted having as many as from 10 to 25 flowers and healthy buds upon each. This rose is quite as late flowering as those of the China section, and as the blooms are larger, better shaped, and of a much more lasting nature, I am surprised it is not more cultivated. I do not remember to have seen this variety in more than half a dozen collections, which is a pity, as for walls and standards or dwarf plants it cannot be surpassed either in freedom of flowering or habit of growth. The colour of the flowers is a beautiful soft rose, deeper in the centre.”

The Meteor, hybrid tea; colour deep rich velvety crimson, a bright and lasting colour, good size, full and well formed, profuse and continuous bloomer, and said to be the best dark hybrid tea. Mr. Charles Bennett, of Homebush, has tested this rose thoroughly, having introduced it to the colony, and he is very sanguine that it will be a great success.

...roses that are now in full beauty and which should find a home in all gardens.... Mrs. Bosanquet, a very old variety of a white, with pink centre slightly tinged with yellow. Possibly this has not been excelled even in the present day.

Then we have from Alexander Dickson and Co., of Newtownards, county Down, Ireland Mrs. James Wilson, which is described as a very beautiful tea with dark lemon-coloured flowers margined with rose; the substance very good and the flowers neat.

It [Souvenir de Sarah Prince] is a very pure white rose, without either the greenish tint or the unevenly shaped blooms of Niphetos. Of course the latter is very good and beautiful; but it often has a trick of quartering and throwing its petals about in an ungainly fashion.

Roses. Rosarians will be glad to read the following from the Gardener’s Chronicle and still more gladly welcome the plants when they arrive in this colony: “In teas we have two novelties in sports, one to which I have alluded in a previous paper – Climbing Niphetos, a remarkable sport sent out by Messars,. Keynes, Williams and Co., of Salisbury, a very vigorous sport with flowers identical with those of the type, and making shoots 13 or 20 feet long
