ROSES IN GENERAL CULTIVA TION. 43 



only one of the strongest growers among 

 them, but yields fully as many flowers and 

 of quite as good quality, as the parent plant. 

 None of them make growth enough to cover 

 large buildings, but for growing on a trellis 

 or pillar they are very desirable. We are 

 likely to have many valuable additions to 

 this class in the near future ; it is already an
