For bedding purposes or as a pot plant I do not know of a more floriferous variety than Paul Floret. The flowers are large, full and very fragrant, produced generally singly on the end of every shoot; and as the plant has a very bushy habit there are a great many shoots, and consequently an equal number of buds. Upon a number of plants I have growing in my rose bed I find but few blind shoots, that is, shoots which stop growing without forming a bud. The color is a reddish-salmon with carmine centre.
