the class or family to which each belongs, the raiser’s 
name, the date (representing the year of intro- 
duction), colour, size, and habit of growth. There 
are obvious difficulties to encounter in preparing 
such a list, and in placing it at the service of my 
readers, I do so in the hope that it will be found 
valuable and interesting. I have taken great pains 
and trouble to make the list as complete as possible, 
and as far as reliable information is obtainable I 
have endeavoured to make it the most compre- 
hensive and exhaustive catalogue of Roses published 
up to the present time.
