Clibrans' White This is one of the hardiest, as well as dwarfest, of new h.p. garden Roses. A plant in my Middlesex garden is not more than 8 1/2 in high, and at the tallest has never exceeded 1ft; but it has plenty of shining leafage, and sends up large white spreading flowers of good shape. All of the first crop of blossoms were perfectly white, and much resembled those of Frau Karl Druschki, but a few of the later ones became prettily suffused at the tips of the petals with purplish-carmine—very lovely and distinct. As a dwarf and reliable edging Rose, this can be recommended. It ought also to be useful as a pot Rose. Messrs. Clibrans, of Altrincham, are the raisers, and I saw it there last year for the first time. The flowers first opened about the second week of July. The growths are spiny.—S.E.

The introducers, in their Rose catalogue, say:—"This variety has been on trial in our nurseries for some years. Every season, whatever the weather may have been, it has invariably grown well and flowered abundantly. For garden decoration and decorative use generally it has proved itself to be indispensable.
