From the very distinct habit of these Roses, they have generally been 

 called par excellence " Hybrid Roses," but as we have been careful to insert 

 none but what are between the China Rose (Rosa indka) and Rosa Callica, 

 we now call them " Hybrid China Roses," a distinctive name quite neces- 

 sary, as Hybrids from other Roses are every season coming into existence. 

 They are all very beautiful, and have that pleasing, glossy, sub-evergreen 

 foliage, peculiar to the China Rose, but make a great deviation from that 

 family, in not being perpetual bloomers; in this division are somo of the 

 most beautiful Roses known, and among them, George the Fourth (which 

 I railed from seed) may rank among the best; these are also all very 

 robust, and will grow and bloom well in the most unfavourable Roso soils; 

 tln-ii peculiar habit and vivid colours render them particularly well adapted 

 tot standards.
