BOTANICAL NOTES ON THE ROSE. 173 



Some Roses at present (1848) un-named have been recently introduced from China, by Mr. R. 

 Fortune, to the garden of the Horticultural Society. One of these he describes as a beautiful 

 double buff yellow climbing Rose of great beauty, very prolific of bloom, and, coming from the 

 more northern districts of the Chinese empire, almost certainly hardy in Europe. Another, a 

 very beautiful and sportive variety of the China Section, is called by the Chinese " five 

 coloured " : sometimes it produces self-coloured blooms, either red or French white, frequently 

 both on the same plant ; sometimes the flowers are striped : this will also prove hardy. Besides 

 these, there are two other climbing Roses, one with double white, and the other with dark red 

 flowers ; and also a purple garden Rose. 



It has been thought that some, perhaps, of our readers might be interested by a tabular 

 arrangement of the groups of Roses as recognised by Florists, under the respective botanical 

 species from which they appear to have sprung : such an arrangement is therefore appended, 

 the species ranging here in the same order in which they occur in the preceding " Notes."
