IN the year 1891 Mr. Jackson Dawson fertilized a flower of Rosa Wichuraiana with pollen of General Jacqueminot, and in December he planted four seeds which resulted from this cross. The seedlings appeared in January, 1892, were grown in pots during the summer and wintered in a cold pit. All bloomed in June of this year, which is rather remarkable, since few seedling Roses bloom before the second or third year. These plants differ materially, although they all show to some degree the trailing habit of the seed parent. One of them has single pale pink flowers, borne in clusters, and is intermediate in habit between the two parents. Another one bore double flowers of a pale flesh color, which did not open well, owing to damp weather. The third one has a prostrate habit, with rosy pink flowers borne in clusters of four or five from every joint of its last year's wood. It received a first-class certificate from the Massachusetts Horticultural Society at its Rose Show in June. The fourth plant, of which an illustration will be found on page 337, is not as prostrate in habit as Rosa Wichuraiana, and its broader leaves have a glossy surface. The solitary flowers are very double, and in shape and color resemble those of Souvenir de la Malmaison, although they are smaller. The plant continues in bloom a long time and promises to be very useful. Uploaded 28 APR |

A New Hybrid Rose.
WE have more than once insisted on the value of the Japanese Rosa multiflora as a hardy shrub. A figure illustrating its flowers and foliage was published some time ago in this journal. The picture in the present issue is of a fine specimen in the garden of Mr. John Robinson, of Salem, Massachusetts. It shows the manner of growth of a plant which possesses an individual beauty surpassed by that of few of the plants found in our gardens ; and apart from its own merits it seems destined to play an important part in the creation of a new race of hardy climbing Roses.
Mr. Dawson has been hybridizing it at the Arnold Arboretum and has already produced two or three distinct seedlings of very considerable value. We are able to produce on page 533 of this issue a photograph of one of these hybrids obtained by crossing Rosa multiflora with the well-known Hybrid Perpetual General Jacqueminot, the latter being the pollen parent. The result is a vigorous and hardy plant with a tendency to climb high. The spines and foliage are those of the pollen-parent, but the flowers are clustered like those of R. multiflora, sometimes as many as sixty being developed in a single panicle. They are semi-double, rose-colored, an inch across, and-exceedingly fragrant.
In Rosa multiflora may be found the ancestor more or less direct of the so-called Polyantha or miniature clustered Roses which have become popular of late years in English garden; but none of these are hardy or very satisfactory with us here in the northern states, probably because they or their parents are of southern origin, and the real interest of the results obtained by Mr. Dawson lies in the fact that by working from an absolutely hardy form of Rosa multiflora he has been able to lay the foundation for a race of hybrids of as great or greater beauty than any of the Polyantha race found in gardens, and absolutely hardy.
We intend to figure some of the other hybrids obtained by Mr. Dawson from this cross; among them is one with the habit and foliage of Rosa multiflora, with small, semi-double, fragrant, pink flowers, which is, perhaps, even more distinct and beautiful than the one which forms the subject of the illustration in this issue.
