Bourbon roses, not having the odor so popular with cut-flower folk, are yet among the most desirable for out-door decoration. No one would want to be without the Hermosa, though it might not be as fragrant as a Bon Silene. The Journal des Roses gives a colored plate of the above-named, and styles it a first-class rose. It is pale salmon, with a tint of cream. It is a sport from Queen Victoria, fixed by M. P. Oger, a rose-grower of Caen, and named for his wife. It appeared in 1876, and was sent out by Verdier in 1878.
