....planted with Evergreen Gem, Gardenia, Jersey Beauty, Alberic Barbier, &c., whose rampant shoots have spread in thick shining masses of glossy foliage, and white, cream, and yellow flowers over the whole slope...

I have, however, kept two of my greatest favourites till the last.  They are certainly among the very best for bedding;  and one, the delightful Dr. Grill is not as universally cultivated as it should be.  Perfect in shape, prolific in flowers of a delicious mixture of pale copper shaded with tender pink and China-rose, it is deliciously fragrant and lasts well in water.

Messrs. Alex Dickson & Sons have recently introduced a number of very interesting single hybrid teas….
‘Irish Harmony’ and ‘Irish Elegance’. In foliage growth, fragrance, and peculiar brilliancy of colour, this new race of Roses is a valuable acquisition to the garden. They are all free-growing, of branching habit, and admirably suited for cultivation as isolated bushes. For they attain a considerable size very quickly and are covered with flowers till the frosts cut them.

p37. ….I was obliged one year to cut a plant of ‘Ferdinand Batel’ level with the ground, in hopes of persuading him to start again with a little more vigour than he had shown for two years; while large sums would not induce me to take an unnecessary inch from the strong plants of glorious ‘Mme. Ravary’ next to him. Yet when these two Roses first appeared they were supposed to be much of the same habit.

p141 Next in order I should place the noble light orange ‘Mme. Ravary’. Vigorous in growth and in perpetual bloom, its colour varies from rich orange-fawn deeper in the center, to salmon-white after it opens

In favourable seasons our work begins in March, with the Hybrid Perpetuals, some of the most hardy being pruned first for early blooming. The shoots of strong growers such as 'Ulrich Brunner', 'Frau Karl Druschki', 'Margaret Dickson', 'Mrs. John Laing', Magna Charta &c., need only be cut back to a convenient length with regard to the general shape of the plant, and one or two of the longest shoots may be gently bent over and pegged down at the tip, if there is sufficient space, which forces them to break from every dormant bud in July.

...Monsieur Tillier, raised in 1891 by Bernaix of Lyon....It is not a show rose; but then we are not all of us exhibitors; and it is simply invaluable for cutting, never out of flower from June to November, and bearing heads of medium=sized, imbricated carmine and brick-red flowers in such abundance, that a group of two or three plants makes a vivid splash of colour right across my garden....it is quite hardy and even more effective than a China Rose, and lasts for many days in water.

One of the wonders and delights of my childhood was a fine plant of 'Souvenir d'un Ami' - the beautiful salmon-pink Tea Rose brought out ten years before, in 1846, by Defougere - which grew up a pillar in the conservatory at Fir Grove near by. ....But each year its great bell-shaped fragrant flowers on their long slender stems show grandly against the Rhododendrons about it, and go far to disprove the delicacy of Tea Roses.
