DESCRIPTION OP THE ROSE. 



109 



In our enumeration of the families and varieties of the 

 rose, we shall make two great divisions, that of the 

 " Summer." or once-blooming, and that of the " Autum- 

 nal," or " ever-blooming " roses. In each of these divis- 

 ions, we shall place first the roses of unmixed race, and, 

 after them, the hybrids which have sprung from their com- 

 binations.
