70 ROSA INDICA, &C. [April. 



is a very profuse bloomer, and of a strong growing 

 habit ; it has much the appearance of a superb tea 

 rose. 



Comble de Gloir, rich reddish crimson, a free bloomer, and 

 possesses considerable fragrance. 



Duchess of Kent, delicate pink, a perfect flower of a glo- 

 bular form, and free bloom. 



Gros Charles, shaded rose, extremely large and fine. 



Hortensia, flesh colour, very double, and an excellent rose. 



Indica or common daily, dark blush or rose colour it is 

 the prototype of the family, and is a free growing 

 and profuse blooming plant, and can withstand every 

 variety of treatment. The flower is about three 

 inches in diameter; and in our descriptions, where 

 the word large is used, it signifies that the flower 

 is larger than the present variety, and very large 

 means still larger, say four inches ; extremely large, 

 between four and five inches. We have even seen 

 roses in favourable soils and cloudy weather six 

 inches in diameter, and would not be alarmed to 

 see a HYBRID Rose twenty-one inches in circum- 

 ference. 



Icterose, creamy white, large and perfectly double. 



Indica alba, white daily or sarmeteuse of some, pure white, 

 perfectly double, free growing, and profuse in flow- 

 ering; it is much more tender than the former, but 

 does tolerably well when protected during winter. 

 In the southern states it is a great and growing fa- 

 vourite. Thousands of this rose have been grown 

 and sold in Philadelphia within these five years. 



Indica minor var, Lawrencia flore pleno, delicate rose, a 

 perfect rose in perfect miniature. 



Jacksonia,* hundred leaved daily, or crimson daily, bright 

 red, large and most perfectly double, of luxuriant 

 growth, and more prickly (spines) than any other 

 rose of the sort we have seen. 



L' Etna, bright light crimson, very double, globular, and 

 very distinct, is of a strong growing habit. 



Lady Warrender, pure white, large cup form, very double 

 and a great bloomer.
