NEW ROSES OF 1866
The following are the most promising of the latest new roses. The descriptions are those of the raisers; and as the varieties have not yet bloomed in this country, and very few of them in England, it is impossible to speak of them definitely. Most of them are results of the skill and perseverance of French cultivators.
