Mme. Pierre Oger (Plate 17). Medium, globular, cream-tinted 'Hermosa' pink, petals curving inwards. Stamens very few, styles long, separate. Pedicel glandular, hip smooth. Calyx double length of bud, edged glands, leafy wings. Wood green, a few very bold red hooked thorns. Leaves pale, flat, edges waved, petiole glanded and slightly downy. Introduced in 1879 by Oger, the French nurseryman. Said to be a sport of 'Reine Victoria'. This beautiful Rose varies much in colour according to the amount of sun, being quite pale in cloudy times. It exactly resembles the shell flowers cherished by our grandparents.

Bourbon Roses
The Bourbons are desirable old-fashioned Roses closely related to the Chinas. Many of them bloom continuously but a few are once-blooming only. There are both climbing and bedding types. Our list includes two of the finest old sorts and interesting, modern varieties. 
Madame Arthur Oger. Climbing Bourbon. (A. Oger, 1899.) Large brilliant pink flowers. A good grower, may be used for medium-sized trellis.
Extremely interesting in that it seems to be another Bourbon with the characteristics of Zephirine Drouhin. $1 each.

The Parentage of Roses.
The following list of the world's Roses and their parentage has been compiled by Mr. Robert Daniel, 38 Russell Road. Fishponds, Bristol, and by his kind permission we are enabled to publish it...
Madame Pierre Oger... Bourbon, Oger, 1878, Sport Reine Victoria
Book  (1910)  Page(s) 82.  
 
Madame Pierre Oger (Oger 1878), beautiful globular blooms, medium size, well double, pure white with soft cream-yellow shading, magnificant lilac-pink when fading. Floriferous, centifolia-type.
Magazine  (1909)  Page(s) 89.  
 
Mme. Pierre Oger only needs to be grown to be greatly admired. In a very large collection this Rose always attracts attention. The flower is delightful, row upon row of petals so evenly arranged as to appear as though moulded in wax, and the colour is white merging into lilac rose. It is, without doubt, a sport from Reine Victoria, an old and less attractive variety.
Magazine  (5 Mar 1904)  Page(s) 166.  
 
"Forgotten Roses."
It is not surprising that owing to the numerous new Roses many of the excellent older sorts have been crowded out. Beautiful as the Hybrid Teas unquestionably are, I think it will be a bad day for lovers of the Rose if they allow this group to drive out of cultivation many old and well-tried varieties of other classes that are too good to suffer extinction. I often wish there were a National Rose Garden, where every variety could be planted, so that rosarians could see for themselves the true value of each. How some of our much-praised Roses would have to give place to those less known but better, at least in the matter of "doing well" and in point of colour.
I append a list of a few varieties that are comparatively unknown, yet I can recommend every one with the full assurance that they would please the majority of the readers of The Garden. Among what are regarded as climbing Roses not one of the Rambler race can surpass.
Another Rose closely allied to the Bourbons is Mme. Pierre Oger, and it is one of the daintiest coloured varieties I am acquainted with; I may also say one of the most beautifully formed.
