Editor,  Rose Mermaid.
Mr. A. Paul very kindly gave me a few. notes of the history of this handsome addition to the single flowered Roses [Mermaid].  This variety was obtained from a species that has hitherto been seldom hybridised, flowers of Rosa bracteata (the single white Macartney Rose) having been fertilised with the pollen of a double yellow Tea Rose. He told me that about a dozen seedlings were obtained, most of which produced single pale yellow flowers which varied in size and regularity of petals, although two or three of the progeny gave double blossoms...
...The double flowered seedlings which resulted from the same cross were found to produce milk-white blossoms of good size and substance, opening well, together with handsome bronzy foliage, and the flowers are also produced over a longer period than those of Rosa bracteata. The best of them has been propagated and placed in commerce under the name of "Seafoam," a handsome variety with small double milk-white flowers, very striking, which received an Award of Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society when exhibited last summer.

Walter Easlea,  Roses as Large Bushes
We often read that such and such a Rose is a poor grower. Let us try them on the non-pruning plan and see what comes of it. Why should not old Horace Vernet and Xavier Olibo be revived again and given such treatment? I cannot imagine any Rose that has survived the seedling stage, to be naturally a weakling. It is merely that we do not know how to handle it aright.

I have a plant myself of a very charming kind, Bebe Laroux, quite 5-ft. high, and it is never pruned, yet produces an abundance of its sweetly fragrant flowers.

We generally look upon the Polyantha Roses as diminutive plants, but I have seen some in Mr. Courtney Page's garden -Perle d'Or, Madame Nolte, Etoil d'Or and Cecile Brunner - fully 5-ft. to 6-ft. high and as many feet through which have never been pruned.
