The Summer Rose Garden.
The French Rose.
(Rosa gallica.)
A Fleurs à Feuilles Marbrées, as the name implies, has its leaves and flowers marbled or stained, as are also its branches. This rose is so double, that it has as much the appearance of a ranunculus as a rose; and, in fine weather, is very beautiful; but wet soon disfigures it.

The following varieties have generally proved good and distinct.
Adelaide, a large red rose, double, and a good variety.

The Summer Rose Garden.
The Evergreen Rose.
(Rosa sempervirens.)
Monsieur Jacques, the chief gardener at the Château de Neuilly, has had the pleasure of originating most of the varieties now in cultivation; two or three he has named after the daughters of his royal master, King Louis Philippe: Adelaide d'Orleans is one of these, and a very pretty and excellent rose it is, with dark shining green foliage, and beautiful shaded pale rose-coloured flowers: this has also the honour of being named by Mr. Wood, "Wood's Don Juan"; and in the Floricultual Cabinet for September, a figure of it is given, which is as like a sunflower as this pretty and distinct rose.

The Summer Rose Garden.
The French Rose.
(Rosa gallica.)
Aglae Adanson is a fine marbled rose, something like the above [A fleurs et feuilles marbrées] in colour, but with much larger flowers, which are double, finely formed, and open freely.
(1837)  Page(s) 35.  
 
The Scotch Rose. (Rosa spinosissima.)

(1837)  Page(s) 80.  
 
Among the varieties most deserving of notice is Aimée Vibert, or "Rosa nivea", a seedling from the Rosa sempervirens plena, which it resembles, but much surpasses its parent in the valuable quantity of autumnal blooming. Nothing can be prettier than a large plant of Aimée Vibert Noisette, covered with its snow-white flowers, in September and October.
 
(1837)  Page(s) 81.  
 
The Noisette Rose.
Belle Violette is a genuine Noisette, and a very neat and pretty little rose; its flowers are of a rosy lilac, and very distinct and good.
