ROSES IN POTS. n 



ranee of the Damask Perpetuals, and are free growers with 

 fine foliage. Tea-scented Roses are of opposite colours, 

 being chiefly white, yellow, and rose. They may be 

 considered as a selection from the Chinese, on account of 

 their delicious fragrance, and whether for forcing or out- 

 door pot plants, form very handsome Roses. Many of the 

 Bourbons are also admirable forcing Roses, of erect growth, 

 forming pretty compact heads when worked ; the flowers 

 are finely shaped, colours clear, and foliage broad and hand- 

 some. The Chinese Roses are very abundant bloomers, 

 and there is something striking and handsome in their 

 habit of flowering peculiar to themselves ; among them are 

 also some of the most brilliant crimson Roses. The 

 Damask Perpetuals are very sweet, and are probably best 

 worked on the Dog-rose when grown in pots. They 

 appear to derive an additional vigour from this " exalter " 

 of the Rose tribe, and being compact growers form very 

 neat objects. Some of the Hybrids of Chinese also force 

 well. In addition to the varieties recommended on 

 pages 2, 3, and 4, the following are excellent forcing
