Group XXXIV.— THE LAWRENCEANA, OR FAIRY ROSE. 



The first of these interesting Roses was introduced from China in 1810. The 

 varieties form pretty objects cultivated in pots, rarely exceeding a foot in height. 

 Thousands of them are sold in our markets every year, and beautiful they are 

 when covered with their tiny blossoms. In dry soils the Fairy Roses may be 

 planted in masses, also as edgings for the beds in the Rosarium : for the latter 

 purpose the hardiest kinds should be chosen. They require the same treatment as 

 the varieties of the succeeding group. 



1. Alba, or Blanc ; flowers white, delicate. 

 Blush ; see Fairy. 



2. Caprice bes Dames ; flowers vivid rose. 



3. Dieu bonne ; flowers pink. 



4. Due be Chartres ; flowers rose.
