GROUP XXIL THE AYRSHIRE PERPETUAL ROSE. 



There is at present but one Autumn-flowering Ayrshire Rose, but it may be the

 add greatly to the beauty of our gardens.

 full, and finely formed ; produced in clusters ; growth vigorous. 



Rosa Multiflora. 



GROUP XXIII. THE POLYANTHA PERPETUAL ROSE.
