Hybrides Remontants. Groupe I. — Madame Victor Verdier
Ce groupe se rapproche beaucoup de celui des "Charles Lefebvre"; on dit communément des rosiers qui le composent que ce sont des "Général Jacqueminot" à bois lisse: ils sont très florifères, franchement remontants. Rameaux lisses, verts, aiguillons petits et rares; feuillage vert, moyen; fleur en coupe, floraison le plus souvent en corymbe; on y rencontre les coloris les plus variés, du rose au rouge pourpre noirâtre.

THE ROSE GARDEN.
HARRISON WEIR (H.P.) I am always sorry to see Roses of brilliant colour forgotten because they make poor growth as cut-backs. To my mind this is a truly grand Rose in form and colour, and no one would desire to be without it if they saw the magnificent flowers that the Briar cutting will produce in yearling plants. If only to obtain such blooms I would not consider it a trouble to bud a few stocks each year. The colour is scarlet-crimson with velvety shading, which one would expect, seeing that it sprang from Charles Lefebvre. It has also inherited the rich fragrance of this fine Rose, but the form is quite different, being globular with recurved petals.
