J90 FLOWER GARDEN CLIMBING ROSES. [APRIL. 



ing more than thirty buds upon them of a light pink 

 colour, it is sometimes called " Pink Cluster." It is of 

 rapid growth, and does well for covering arbours, 

 fences, or any unsightly object. The foliage is of a 

 lucid green, and the wood very strong in growth. This 

 rose is at present one of the most abundant in flower, 

 the easiest of cultivation, (growing in any exposure,) 

 and in every respect is highly deserving of attention. 



No. 2. Rosa blush Noisettid is very similar to No. 1. 

 in habit ; the flowers are lighter in colour, and a little 

 larger ; but the plant does not flower so profusely dur- 

 ing the heat of the season. There is a variety of Noi- 

 settia in our gardens, known from this by the bud being 

 more rounded, and another under the name of Char- 

 les Wth, which has fine large flowers of a dark blush 

 colour. 



No. 3. Rosa red Noisettid, or what we consider more 

 properly Scarlet cluster. It is very distinct from any other 

 of the Noisettias in habit. It is an excellent variety, 

 and blooms abundantly; of a scarlet colour; forming a 

 fine contrast with the two last, which are light in co- 

 lour, and though not generally known is very desirable. 



No. 4. Rosa moschata, musk-scented, or white cluster, 

 is an esteemed rose both for profusion of flower and 

 agreeableness in fragrance. It is not of so rapid growth 

 as the three previous, and may be kept as a bush ; 

 though it will grow to a considerable height if protect- 

 ed by a wall or close fence, being tacked thereto. 

 Where kept as a bush, in very severe winters, it is the 

 better of a slight covering, and is the latest flowering
