"Among the Nurseries. By Our Agricultural Reporter.
GREEN HILL, RUNCORN.
Roses are a speciality at Green Hill, for they are the hobby of the proprietor, and he is constantly obtaining the newest varieties from the Southern colonies and from Europe, over 160 having been thus added to his already numerous collection during the past two years. Among these there were in flower at the time of my visit:— [ ... ] Archduke Charles (hybrid China), a profuse bearer of variegated flowers which open rose colour and gradually change to crimson, often striped with white."

ROSES FOR EVERYBODY TO GROW. [...] For sixth, I recommend Souvenir de Therese Levet, the best dark tea to date. It has vigorous growth and will make a fine bush yielding a constant supply of finely formed flowers, generally small from an exhibition standpoint. I have, notwithstanding, known it to take championship in a large show. A little brighter in colour and smaller in size, possibly even freer in bloom, is the splendid button hole rose, Francis Dubreiul; a rose that can well be included as one for everybody to grow.

[...] and I also feel inclined to let Francis Dubriel take the place of Therese Levet, as it gives a greater quantity of bloom and does not burn near as much, although it is a smaller rose.

Taking colour as a guide, I will list for seventh the lemon-yellow Medea. It is satisfactory in growth but dwarf as compared with the Cochet. The wood and foliage are very dark, more so than Perle des Jardines. The flowers are produced freely, generally up to exhibition standard with anything like fair treatment. With high-feeding exceptionally fine blooms may be expected. It is a variety figuring largely on our show boards.

During the past season I have introduced about fifty varieties, principally tea scented. The following is a description supplied with a  few of the leading kinds:-  [...] The Meteor (tea scented) - dark velvety crimson without the least purple tint, and retaining its colour well; exceedingly free, of good constitution and habit, and invaluable for cutting purposes.

"Horticulture. Roses for Everybody to Grow.
If buds are required special varieties may be recommended, [ ... ] while in the Polyanthas must be included Perle d'Or (best of all), Cecile Brunner, Leonie Lamesch, Clotilde Soupert, and our friend Mr. Alfred Williams' Miss Dorothea Pollock.

The new rose, Mrs. Norman Watson, which Mr. Alister Clarke, the raiser, recently presented to the Geelong (Vic.) Horticultural Society, is said to be like an improved Lady Battersea, with longer flowers and a firm stem.

Another Queensland variety may be included in these - namely Miss Rita Peterson, a sport from Penelope.

Strong growing varieties, such as Maman Cochet, and Therese Levet, can be allowed to form large bushes, but it is advisable to keep the centre of the plant well open, so as to admit light and air.
