Woodsii, a large rose, very showy, and distinct from any of this 

 numerous class.

 a considerable time on the plant. 



Lepidus is also a rose, possessing good properties, and distinct. 



Elegans is a pleasing rose ; has good petals, but rather deficient in 

 number to make it first rate ; nevertheless it merits a place in every 

 collection.

 confused centre. 



Wadeii is white, possessing good formed petals and good substance.

 round every petal, and well formed ; this deserves a place in the 

 smallest collection.

 being a good habit and free bloomer. 



Variegata, commonly called the double striped, one of the oldest 

 and most useful grown, is red, striped with white, being fine habit 

 and free bloomer; ought to be in every collection.
