242 DESCRIPTION OF ROSES. 



many nurserymen at 5s. each. I have noticed these sales on 

 account of the many erroneous names emanating from them, and 

 beg to caution cultivators against admitting them into their Cata- 

 logues, till they have made enquiries as to their accuracy. 



The following terms are used to express the form of the Flower : 

 Globular. — The outer petals encircling the flower till fully blown, in the 



manner of the common Cabbage or Provence Rose. 

 Expanded. — The flower rather flat, petals open, in some varieties, showing 



the central stamens. 

 Cupped. — The outer row of petals erect, rather incurved, enclosing numerous 



smaller petals; the crimson perpetual Rose when first open will illus 



trate this term. 

 Reflexed. — The petals turned back, something like the French Marigold. 

 Imbricated. — The flower flat, petals laying over each other like the centre 



of a good double Anemone. 

 Compact. — Petals stiff, close and upright, resembling a double Ranunculus. 

 Those marked s are grown as Standards.
