CLASS IV. NOISETTE, TEA, AND CHINA ROSES. Of these 

 the Noisettes and the tea-roses are the stronger growers, some of 

 them forming quite fine bushes of secondary size. The foliage is 

 smooth and fine, and the flowers of the Noisettes are borne in clus- 

 ters. All are tender, but many of them may be left in the ground 

 through the winter if skillfully covered in the fall. The tea roses 

 are noted for the delicacy of their colors, and their delicious 

 fragrance. The China (or Bengal) roses are the most delicate in 

 growth, and the least hardy; and require to be removed to a 

 green-house, plant-room, or cellar, after the first strong frosts. 



The following is a select list of good varieties of Noisette and 

 tea roses : 



1. Aimee Vibert. Pure white, small cupped flowers, in clus- 

 ters. Bush small and low. One of the hardiest. 



2. Caroline Marniesse. White, with creamy centre, small per- 

 fect flowers, and a profuse bloomer. 



3. Solfaterre. Saffron-yellow, fragrant and fine. 



4. Celine Forester. Pale yellow, large, full and hardy. 



5. Isabella Gray. The deepest yellow. 



6. Jane Hardy. Golden yellow, very double, free bloomer, 

 and rich foliage. 



7. Lamarque. Pale lemon-yellow, very large flowers. 



8. Marechal Niel. Deep yellow, very large, full, and fra- 

 grant. New, and of distinguished beauty.
