division than of any other, consequently it is 

 placed in it : this is a fine and free-growing rose 

 always beautiful. Bullata is a curious but pretty 

 variety, with large foliage and tinted white flowers, 

 forming a robust and fine standard. Camellise- 

 flora, a small but very pretty pure white rose, 

 with cupped flowers, possesses all the characters 

 of the species, and is quite worthy of cultivation. 

 Due de Luxembourg, a hybrid, is a most beautiful 

 and unique rose, producing globular flowers of 

 the largest size: the exterior of the petals is 

 almost white, the interior of a bright rosy purple, 

 at once singular and pleasing. Fatime is a pretty 

 rose, its colour not pure white, but tinted with a 

 delicate pink in the centre of the flower ; this is 

 peculiar to roses of this family, and in general it 

 is very pleasing. Fanny Sommerson, a new and 

 very fine variety, is a most robust grower, pro- 

 ducing rose-coloured flowers, extremely double, 

 and finely shaped, a little imbricated, but so per- 

 fect that this variety may be considered a good 

 show-rose. Felicite is also a new and beautiful 

 rose ; its flowers are exactly like a fine double ra- 

 nunculus, of a most delicate flesh-colour : this is a 

 distinct and fine rose. 



Ferox is a most anomalous variety of this 

 family, for most of its members are thornless, but 

 this is completely covered with those fierce de- 

 fenders ; its flowers are of a pretty tinted white, 

 very double and perfect. Josephine and Josephine
