The different families of Climbing Roses, such as Ayrshire, Sempervirens, 

 Multiflora and Boursault Roses are now so well defined that, perhaps, I ought 

 to have placed them in separate divisions, but trust it will be more conve- 

 nient for reference to keep them under one head. It will bo something of a 

 novelty to apply Climbing Roses as underwood, but I know of no plant so 

 eligible for elegant undergrowth in a ^Vildcrncss near Pleasure Grounds, as 

 the varieties ofrosa sempervirens, they grow in every description of soil with 

 great luxuriance ; under the shade of Trees they are nearly evergreen, and 

 with their beautifully shaped and delicately coloured flowers, are calculated 

 to form the prettiest maSS ot undergrowth it is possible to OODOeive. Thej 

 grow with increased vigour when their shoots aro pro Irate, and if a large 



■pace is required to be covered with them, they may be planted thin, and the 

 enda of the moat rigorous shot, is laid in the ground; in a fi « years, by these 

 means, aores ot ground pay be covered with them. On Standards, with abort 

 stents, they make »erj ornamental plants for Lawn tj If thej growluxu 



riantly the ends of the shoots will descend, and Ifnol shortened, will pro. 



dnoe the following season, corymbs of flowers at every bud, forming H dome 

 hhnped uius», having a lino effect.
