A LIST AND DESCRIPTION OF PROVENCE AND HYBRID CHINA 



ROSES. 



BY MR. CHARLES WOOD, JUN., WOODLANDS NURSERY, MARESFIELD, SUSSEX. 



I feei, much pleasure in complying with the wishes of your corre- 

 spondent " Rosa," and have therefore subjoined a list of Provence 

 and Hybrid China Roses, although I must confess the latter class 

 has been the hardest to enumerate, there being such an infinite va- 

 riety of beautiful sorts in that splendid division that it is somewhat 

 difficult to determine, " among so many beauties," which to give the 

 preference to.
