119. #RosE. Rosa. 



The rose is justly called the queen of flowers, for its size and 

 various beautiful shades and delightful fragrance. The colors vary 

 from a pure white to red, to deep violet, and nearly to black. The 

 yellow rose is not very uncommon. The rose is an indispensable 

 requisite in every good garden. The lists enumerate at least one 

 thousand names of hardy roses. 



120. S. S. CHINA ROSES. 



These require a little protection during winter, in the Northern 

 States. They are mostly ever-blooming, and universally admired 

 on this account. They should be planted in the open ground in 

 June, and may be again taken up in September ; or protected with 

 moss or evergreens, and suffered to remain out all winter. The 

 most common are the China Blush and Sanguined ; the Champney's 

 Blush Cluster, and Noisette ; of these last there are many varieties, 

 all blooming in superb clusters. Others, less common, are the 

 Knight's Resplendent, the Grandval, or Hermite, more splendid 

 still ; but both these last are of a dark crimson hue ; the Blush 

 Tea Scented, of exquisite fragrance, and the Undulata. The Mul- 

 tiflorus, Blush, and IWiite, and the Lady Banks's White and Yellow, 

 and the Grevilli, are all running roses, and blossom in beautiful 

 clusters ; but they do not blossom well except in a warm exposition. 

 The Belle de Monza, the Yellow Tea Scented, and Yellow Noisette, are 

 not common, but celebrated new kinds. Also La Triomphe d'Arcole, 

 &c. &c. There are, also, many other kinds eminently beautiful.
