32 THE BOOK OF THE ROSE CH. II 
N.R.S. has now classes for the exhibition of garden 
Roses, and issues a list of what may be shown 
under this head; but for general use, without 
drawing any hard and fast line around them as a 
class, the name is useful as representing the hardy, 
strong-growing, free-flowering sorts, which do not 
require much care, but are not up to exhibition 
standard.
