Group XXXII.— THE CRIMSON CHINESE ROSE. 



The original of this group was introduced from China in 1789. There are per- 

 haps no Roses more beautiful late in the year, when the autumn is mild. I was 

 particularly struck with this in the autumn of 1846. A few cold misty days had 

 obscured their brightness, when warm weather succeeded, and the buds, which 

 the wet and cold had sealed, suddenly expanded, producing a brilliant show in 

 November. There are some very handsome blood-coloured Roses here. All 

 are of a branching habit, and of moderate growth. Some do not thrive well as 

 Standards ; but all luxuriate on their own roots, and form pretty and interesting 

 objects budded on dwarf stocks. They thrive best in a rich soil, with close 

 pruning : there are none better for planting in clumps on lawns or in the flower- 

 garden, for they produce a great number and regular succession of flowers 

 throughout the summer and autumn.
