GROUP XXVII-HYBRID PERPETUAL.

As the Class Hybrid Perpetual of many Catalogues is divided into four Groups by our arrangement, should the Amateur not find any Variety in the present Group, he will likely meet with it either in that which precedes, or one of the two which follows it.

How came we in possession of these lovely Roses which have so suddenly delighted us with their presence, forming, as they do, the most valuable Group among Autumnals? Their origin is various; doubtless, in many instances unknown. The greater part, however, have been raised by M. Laffay from between the Hybrid Bourbon or Hybrid Chinese and Damask Perpetual. Princesse Hélène, which was introduced in 1837, was the first striking variety that was obtained; Queen Victoria followed next; and in 1840 there were above twenty varieties enumerated in the Rose Catalogues. Several of these, however, were drawn from other Groups: one-fourth were Bourbon Perpetuals.

The Group before us, spoken of in reference to their external characters, might be called Hybrid Chinese blooming in the autumn. They are indeed fine Roses, quite hardy, and very sweet. They thrive under common treatment, and are suited alike for standards and dwarfs, for pot-culture and forcing. Indeed, nowhere are they out of place: they grow and flower well in the vicinity of London, and in the northern parts of England and Scotland.
