It is contended that this is the largest rose ever raised. It is one of Mr. Bennett's; the whole stock being purchased by Charles F. Evans, of Philadelphia. It is a cross between the hybrid perpetual, Mabel Morrison, and Tea Canary. The wood is stouter than of any known rose. The flesh-colored blooms have measured six inches in diameter. European orders are coming in for it, from America.

It appears this new rose is not without a rival. The Journal des Roses says that it does not claim this, but presents itself simply as the rival of Paul Neron.

It is instructive to know that a homely English farmer, Mr. H. Bennett, now retired from the doubtfully profitable occupation of corn growing, should have beaten both home and Continental raisers by producing, not only for the year the finest new rose, but also one which will probably prove the best of a decade of years. We are thankful that Her Majesty does not wear those heavy habiliments of color which have marked so many of our new roses of recent introduction; on the contrary, it is of a lovely soft flesh tint. Just as A. K. Williams has proved to be the richest colored and most beautiful rose of its class so far, so will Her Majesty occupy that distinguished position amongst fair roses - in fact, amongst regal flowers the queen. On stands of many blooms there has been such a ringing the changes upon the Baroness de Rothschild and La France, both very beautiful of their kind, that another new rose belonging to their section is indeed a treasure. Her Majesty, as becomes such a royal flower, is large in size and beautiful in form; and it was noticeable, in spite of the expansion caused by the heat, that she maintained her good looks to the last. - The Garden.
