Striped Roses.
A Garden Corner.
HpiIERE IS little reference nowadays to the Roger Lamberlin, a unique variety, but to those who appreciate something out of the ordinary it is still a rose to be admired. lam indebted to Miss E. Wood. Selwyn Street, for a spray of blooms of typical colouring. An inspection of these blooms might lead many to suppose them to be unnautral, but the bizarre markings of white on the deep maroon petals are normal and constitute the charm of this particular variety. It can scarcely be called a striped rose in the sense that Rainbow is, but is sufficiently so to be included in the select category of such. Rainbow is very definitely striped red on a deep pinl*^ground, and builds up into a pretty flower. Neither
of them has the vigour and constitution of the best of the newer roses. That is one reason why neither is seen often in gardens. T. D. LENNIE.
