VARIETIES. These are almost innumerable, particu- 
larly in the Hybrid Perpetual class, which is so well 
known and so justly popular with all cultivators, either 
for exhibition purposes, culture in pots, or for garden 
decoration, &c. The beautiful varieties of Tea, Hybrid 
Tea, and Noisette Roses are best adapted for culture 
under glass, where their extremely delicate flowers are 
unsurpassed; if placed in the open air, the plants re- 
quire a warm position, and protection in winter. The 
other classes referred to below are mostly what are 
known as Garden Roses, because they are not generally- 
used for exhibition, but for climbing and for other deco- 
rative garden purposes. 
Hybrid Perpetual Roses. 
The subjoined selection of varieties from this class: 
although somewhat long, contains only a portion of such 
as are alike worthy of being included, but which have 
necessarily to be omitted. They are nearly all of 
vigorous-growing habit under liberal treatment, therefore — 
no reference is made on this point to each individually.
