A goodly number of really useful and distinct new roses have been introduced these last few years, among the best of which are Antoine Rivoire. This variety is the result of crossing Lady Mary Fitzwilliam and Dr. Grill, two of our freest flowerers, although Lady Mary Fitzwilliam is a weak grower. The color is a deep rosy flesh, with a tinge of soft copper; it is a good grower, with large-sized blooms, full, and camellia-like in shape.

There are several varieties of roses which can be treated in the same way as Lorraine Lee to bloom in the winter. In other words, prune heavily in March instead of July. They are Lorraine Lee, Shot Silk, Beatrice McGregor, Mrs. Herbert Stevens, and Imperial Potentate.

Here we give a short list of roses which have proved themselves under South Australian conditions and will provide a good selection for the home gardener as bush or standards. Except where stated they are hybrid tea roses: —
Beatrice McGregor — Dark red rose fragrant. Thornless.

Beauté Lyonnaise is a fine hybrid tea, a seedling from Baroness Rothschild, which must have been crossed with some tea or noisette. This variety is a very robust grower, with large and full flowers, having immense-sized petals; the color is white, slightly tinted with lemon-yellow.

Beryl is the most highly scented of all teas. This is very free in growth and bloom, the buds long, and a deep golden-yellow shade found in no other rose. It is not very full, but a grand decorative variety.

We give you a list herewith of what we consider to be the best pillar roses, climbers, and ramblers. All of these can be depended upon to give good results. They are all well known to us and have been thoroughly tested and tried. [...] CLIMBERS. [...] CLIMBING DR. QUINN — Rose shaded deep salmon. A splendid showy sort, flowering very freely.

Duchess Marie of Ratibor is a cross between Kaiserin Augusta Victoria and Dr. Grill; it has a free growth, upright in habit, and is a very free flowerer. The flowers of this variety last well when cut, are of good form, size, and substance, and borne very boldly, after the manner of Kaiserin Augusta Victoria; the color is clear creamy yellow, with a reddish yellow shade in the centre.

Emanuel Geibel very much resembles that old favorite Madame Falcot, only the flower is larger and much deeper in color, the improvement in these respects being most marked. This variety is likely to become an exhibition rose.

A rose with rather peculiar parents is Grande Duchesse Victoria Melita. This variety is a cross between Safrano and Caroline Testout, the one a tea and the other a hybrid tea; but, however, the raiser calls the new variety a tea, but, all the same, it is somewhat difficult to classify. This variety is a strong grower, and a splendid rose, the buds are long, and always open into a large, well-formed flower. Like its parents, it is a free and continuous bloomer; in color it is creamy-white, with a distinct shade of light gold in the centre.

Grand Duc Ernest Ludwig is a cross between General Jacqueminot and Marechal Neil. In flower and growth it resembles the first, but has the color of Marechal Neil.
