The Hybrid Provence (Rosa centifolia hybrida) are a fine class of flowers, raised between the French and Provence Roses, but with more of the character of the last mentioned class.  They are mostly very vigorous, and produce an abundance of large well-formed flowers, which are very fragrant.  They require a rich soil and rather hard pruning as a rule.  The following selection includes a few of the best varieties.

"Summer Roses"
By Mr. William Paul, F.R.H.S., Paul's Nurseries, Waltham Cross.
The French and its hybrids, once the leading group of the genus, has been depreciated more than any other by the improvements of modern times. It must not however be yet laid aside. The varieties grow freely in any common garden soil, and produce fine masses of highly fragrant flowers in the summer time. The colours are varied and beautiful, the growth compact, and the plants require close pruning.
Blanchefleur deserves a word of special commendation; it is hardly a show Rose, but its white flesh-tinted flowers are produced in such gay profusion that scarcely any Rose of its colour is so effective.
