stance owing to the tenderness of its roots: for when 
budded on the dog-rose stock, it becomes much more hardy. 
“* Those who are curious in Roses, should always have a 
few potted plants of the present kind reserved in a pit ; lest 
the severity of winter should destroy those in the open 
border. It is well adapted for a standard-rose on a lawn, 
since it flowers freely throughout the autumn, and has 
besides a graceful, drooping kind of growth. I have, how- 
ever, found it to succeed best when budded on the common 
blush China Rose, and placed against a wall. In such 
a situation it would seldom be injured, even by the hardest 
of our winters. It strikes freely from cuttings.”
