I have seen but few roses that commend themselves so highly, or which I would so gladly introduce to all who dwell with the rose, as the subject of this notice-Having frequently read its praises in horticultural papers and florists' catalogues, I have been more than anxious to see it, because the descriptions of our business florists do not always materialize - the plant, from some reason or other does not produce as fine flowers in the garden as the artist does in the catalogue. But "Clothilde Soupert" is on the table before me, watching what I have to say. She, like all other beautiful creatures, is fond of praise; but, unlike many others, she wants only what truly belongs to her - a just appreciation of her beauty and generosity. This she shall have at my hands, for a more pleasing rose I have not seen. This would not be true if I were to speak of its individual flowers, because I would much prefer a Jacqueminot, Pearl of the Garden, or American Beauty, but I should prefer a plant of this to any of the above, or to all three of them, for that matter, because on my plant - which is but ten inches high - there are now three fully opened roses, just two inches in diameter, a clear rose pink in the centre, the outer petals a pearly white, with a pleasant fragrance.

The plant is of excellent habit, a free-grower, and, is moreover, like the polyantha class, a constant bloomer, admirably adapted to pot culture or for the open border. - C. L. Allen.
