THE MINIATURE CHINA ROSE. 
(Rosa Lawrenceana ) 
The Miniature China or Fairy Rose is supposed 
to be a distinct species introduced from China in 
1810. These Roses are of the dwarfest habit 
possible, growing only a few inches in height, and 
yet loaded with beautiful flowers of the smallest size. 
They may truly be called Roses in miniature. 
There are some fifteen or sixteen varieties, but the 
most popular and generally cultivated is the Fairy ; 
flowers rosy pink. If they are planted out, they 
should have a warm light dry soil, but they seem to 
be best suited for pot culture.
