English Raised Roses.
It may be worthy of remark that nearly all the English Roses, raised by Messrs. Turner, Paul, Laxton, Cranston, and a few others, have proved exceedingly good, and may be depended upon.
The following English-raised Roses are said to be good; but, as I have not yet seen blooms of them, I cannot speak positively as to their merits:
John Bright (Paul & Son).—Colour, brilliant rosy-crimson, distinct in character, large, full, and of good form. A very effective variety.
