Having ascertained that I had sixteen varieties of scentless roses in my garden I made out a list of these, and at the same time, another list of the most popular kinds grown which did really possess the fragrance so much sought after in the queen of flowers. This list - in which the first thirty mentioned are those which, in my opinion, are superior in this respect - may be useful for the guidance of persons intending to improve or enlarge their collections. I have said nothing about the Moss, Provence, Gallica, or Tea-scented varieties, which are all more or less highly perfumed. Amongst the Tea-scented kinds, Marechal Niel is decidedly the sweetest and most powerfully scented of all. My list embraces Hybrid Perpetuals only.
