Mons. J. Dupeyrat, Vice-President of La Société Francaise des Rosiéristes:
M. Nabonnand has also to his credit several magnificent climbing Teas and Hybrid Teas. Two rather difficult to classify: ‘Bardou Job’, a velvety scarlet flower, semi-double, issued in 1887 (from ‘Gloire des Rosomanes’ x ‘General Jacqueminot’, and ‘Noella Nabonnand’ (Reine Marie Henriette’ x ‘Bardou Job’), 1901, one of the best climbing roses, of a rare vigor and floriferousness, exquisite perfume, and has many traits in common with ‘Gloire des Rosomanes’. According to him, it is an error to class ‘Gloire des Rosomanes’ among the Bengals. It has no Bengal characteristics, neither in the form of flower, foliage, nor the peculiar perfume which it transmitted to ‘Bardou Job’ and Comte Bobrinksy only.

Rose Comte Bobrinsky. Mr. Field, Ashwellthorpe Gardens, near Norwich, sends flowers of this old-fashioned but beautiful Rose with the following note: "One but seldom meets with it now in gardens, and nurserymen do not catalogue it. I find it mentioned but once in 'Rivers's Rose Amateurs' Guide,' published in 1866, and there it is classed among the decorative climbing Roses. In shape the flower is not quite equal to some of our best Roses, but the colour is exquisite. With me it does best on its own roots, is perfectly hardy, and blooms from June until the end of August. All who love Roses should have at least one plant of the fine old garden variety Comte Bobrinsky." [A dark crimson fragrant Rose. Not a sort to lose sight of.—Ed.]

[From "VEGETATION ON THE LIME SOILS OF THE MEDITERRANEAN" by Henry Bennet, M.D., Torre di Grimaldi, Ventimiglia, Italy, June 1.]
I tried an experiment last autumn with a bed of three year Boubrinski, a very sweet red Tea, which flowers all winter with us, and is much esteemed. One third were left alone, the second third had their roots pruned all round, and manure added in the circular trench made for that purpose. The other third were lifted bodily, root pruned, as advised by some Rosarians, and replanted in a mixture of manure and leaf mould after eight months' growth. I find the Roses left alone, without trenching or manure, by far the most vigorous; those trenched and manured, the next best; and those taken up and replanted in rich soil the worst as regards both growth and flower.
