During a discussion on roses before the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, Mr. Moore advised the judging of roses at exhibitions by points, and the entering of the points on the prize cards, so that all who read might learn. He considered hardiness, vigor of growth, beauty of form and color, fragrance and constancy of bloom, as indispensable requisites for a hybrid perpetual rose for general cultivation in the garden. It is hard to find all these qualities in any one variety, but the nearer any one comes to them the better the general cultivator will be satisfied with it.
