GROUP XXI* THE CHEROKEE OR CAMELLIA ROSE. 



This splendid single Rose, known also as R. Sinica, is a native of the far east, 

 whence it has spread to the south-eastern states of America, the West Indies, Madeira, 

 the Cape of Good Hope, Southern Europe, and other parts of the globe. Unfortun- 

 ately it is not hardy in England, save in the southern counties. It is well suited to 

 plant against a south wall, where it may be well sheltered from frost. 



1. SINICA ; flowers pure white, single, five to six inches in diameter; the foliage 

 is most beautiful, glistening as though varnished. The variety appears to blossom 

 more freely when the plant is budded, but it strikes freely from cuttings inserted 

 under glass. 



2. SINICA HYBRIDA ANEMONE. Apparently this recent novelty is a cross 

 between a Tea Rose and the type. It is a most beautiful variety, bearing huge 

 single flowers of a silvery pink colour. The plant is much hardier than the type.
