68 ROSA INDICA, &C. [April. 



General Dubourg, pale rose, globular, large and very 

 double. 



Hermosa, bright rose, most perfect cupped form, a profuse 

 bloomer, and highly esteemed. During the sum- 

 mer months it loses much of its colour ; but in au- 

 tumn it is truly charming. 



Le Phoenix, bright red, very perfect and fragrant. 



Madame Desprez, dark rose, globular, and perfectly double, 

 blooms in large clusters, and approaches more the 

 Noisette tribe than any other of the Bourbon Roses. 



Marechal De Villars, bright purple, compact and perfectly 

 double : it is a most beautiful variety. 



Paul Joseph, brilliant crimson, very double and perfect, 

 though not so large a flower as many others. 



Proserpine, purplish crimson, perfectly double. 



Philippar, bright rose, compact and perfectly double, of 

 very luxuriant habit, and, when well established, a 

 great, bloomer. 



Queen of the Bourbons, beautiful waxy blush, perfect in 



form, profuse of flower exquisite. 

 There might be several others added to the above, though 



we consider these the best and most distinct in colour and 



character. 



ROSA INDICA OR (BENGAL OF THE FRENCH) CHINESE 

 EVER-BLOOMING ROSES. 



Perhaps no Rose has been so universally distributed and 

 industriously cultivated as Rosa indica, (common Chinese 

 or daily Rose,) and Rosa Semperflorens, (crimson or san- 

 guinea Rose.) It has been a favourite from the cottage to 

 the mansion, and is truly a floral pioneer. They will 

 almost withstand every vicissitude of treatment ; but will 

 not well survive the winters in the open air, north of this 

 latitude, and even here they require some simple protec- 

 tion with straw, mats, litter, or other dry material during 

 winter. 



The extensive demand for roses has induced many large 

 importations, and some superb additions within these few 

 years ; and many of those thought fine in the first edition 

 of this work, are now entirely discarded, giving place to
