368 APPENDIX. 



Roses for training to pyramids or pillars. 



Brennus, or Brutus, as it is sometiiaes called, a profuse flowerer, the 

 roses being very large, of a most brilliant carmine, very finely cupped, 

 and very double ; Queen of the Belgians, a pure -white, finely cupped ; 

 Drummond's thornless, a Boursault rose, with a profusion of small pink, 

 very double flowers ; Rosa Grevillei, or the Seven Sisters, with large 

 clusters of flowers, varying in colour, in the same cluster, from crimson 

 and almost purple to pale blush and almost white ; Rosa multiflora, 

 nearly allied to the last ; and the Triomphe de Bollwyller, with a beau- 

 tiful cream-coloured, or rather pale buff flower, cupped, and very large, 

 and double, with large glossy evergreen leaves. To these may be added 

 Jaune Desprez, a very curious rose, from its singular colour, which is a 

 sort of pink buff. This rose is extremely fragrant and very hardy ; and, 

 from being a veiy free grower, it is well suited for a pillar rose. All the 

 Noisette and Boursault roses, particularly Rosa ruga, are also well 

 adapted for this pui-pose ; as are the Banksian Roses, though they, like 

 Rosa imdtiflbra, are rather tender. 



Trailing Roses. 



The double Yellow Austrian and Scotch roses, and Rosa Earrisonii, 

 sometimes called Hogg's double yellow ; River's George the Fourth, a 

 j splendid crimson rose, with shining, dark, reddish-green foliage, and of 

 I very luxuriant growth ; the Village Maid, a striped rose ; Rose du Roi, or 

 j Lee's crimson perpetual, a most valuable rose, which will flower in the 

 I open ground fi-om May to November ; the common Rose a-quatre-saisons ; 

 ' Madame Desprez, an He de Bourbon rose, which blooms in large clusters 

 ] like a Noisette ; Bengale triomphante ; Rosa indica (the common China) ; 

 j Rosa seraperflorens (the monthly China) ; Rosa odorata (the common tea- 

 scented) ; and Rosa Smithii (the Yellow Noisette), though this rose does 

 not flower well in moist seasons. J\Iany more might easily be added ; 

 but these will be enough for a moderate-sized garden, and the proprietors 

 of large gardens do not want a selection. 



Of all these Roses, Rosa ruga is perhaps the most beautiful and the 

 most useful. All the trailing roses require a very rich soil, and their 

 shoots should never be shortened in pruning. 



Ornainental Floivering Shrubs. 



Weiglea rosa, all the !Mahonias, or Ash Berberries, Ceanothusazureus, 

 and other kinds. Viburnum, various kinds, Spirte'a aerifolia, S. bdlla, the 

 Judas tree, Rose Acacia, and several kinds of Escallouia, &c.

 Gaui-rya elliptica, Chimonanthus frilgrans, Laurestinus. 



Perennial Plants flowering in Winter.
