Rose, Dorothy Perkins in America.

This charming rose is apparently as great a favourite in America as it is in this country, and that it thrives equally as well there as here is evidenced by the illustration. Of the few instances we have seen of this rose planted against a wall in this country, the effect has not been a particularly pleasing one. but evidently it thrives well in America when planted in such a position. The illustration of this rose growing on a house represents Dreamwold Nest, the residence of Mr. T. W. Lawson, and it is that gentleman who is sitting at the window. As will be seen, the plants are a mass of bloom, and evidently quite at home. The other illustration shows this beautiful pink rose at its best, i.e., covering the arches and handrails of a rustic bridge, and producing its trusses of blooms in profusion. Such an example is worthy of the keenest rosarian’s art. and will, we hope, suggest ideas in rustic work to some of our readers.
