As single specimens of Pillar Roses, the following may be tried with confidence:
Duchesse de Cambacérès, of robust habit (if her Grace will pardon the expression), profuse and continuous in bloom; makes an admirable Pillar Rose.
So do the two other Graces, namely:
Duchess of Norfolk* with her bright deep crimson flowers, her large and glossy leaves, and
Duchess of Sutherland, introduced by Monsieur Laffay in 1839, but still fresh, fair, and fragrant; and though surpassed as a model flower, a beautiful addition to the Rose-garden.

*All the Roses in this list, except Gloire de Bourdeaux, Gloire de Dijon, and Jaune Desprez, are of the Hybrid Perpetual family.

NB: This Rose grows wonderfully on the Manetti, and I received some years ago from Messrs Wood of Maresfield two specimens, which had made, in their first summer, shoots 15 feet long from the "bud."
