236 The Rose Garden. 



When plants of the Scotch Rose become established in the soil the stems push 

 laterally under ground, often rising to the surface at a considerable distance from the 

 mother plant. These are called suckers, and are separated from the mother to form 

 new plants, and thus is the Scotch Rose propagated. It is not easy to confound this 

 with any other group, the spines are so thickly set on the stems. The growth is 

 dwarf. The flowers are mostly blush, small, double, and globular in form, possessed 

 of a peculiarly grateful fragrance. The plants resemble each other so nearly in every 

 respect that it seems only necessary to affix the colours. 



There is one hybrid of this group well worthy of cultivation, the Stanwell 

 Perpetual, which blooms both in Summer and Autumn, and is very sweet.
