96 THE SUMMER ROSE GARDEN. 



Essex, it is well known ; and last, but not least, 

 as "Rosa craculatum," a name given to it by 

 Mr. Wood of Maresfield. It is a fine robust 

 variety, nearly evergreen, and makes shoots from 

 ten to fifteen feet in length in one season. Its 

 flowers are large, nearly double, and of a delicate

 flowers in immense clusters. These are fragrant, 

 and change from white to pink after expansion. 



Rosa elegans is a variety which has hitherto
