GROUPING OF GARDEN VARIETIES OF ROSES. 189 



single yellow flowers, and a chocolate-coloured spot at the 

 bottom of each petal. It is not only singularly beautiful, 

 but has the great merit of distinctness. 



SECTION X. 



GROUP XXIV. The Perpetual Scotch. The only 

 variety in this group of special value as a garden Rose is 

 the " Stanwell Perpetual." It flowers early and late, and 

 is deliciously sweet. 



GROUP XXV. The Perpetual Moss. It is a great 

 thing to have Moss Roses flowering in the autumn, 

 although the mossy surroundings of the buds is not so 

 prominent a feature here as with the summer-blooming 

 kinds. 



SECTION XL 



GROUP XXVI. The Macartney Rose. Both the single 

 and the " Maria Leonida " are well worthy of cultivation. 

 They are best grown on a wall or fence, or in some 

 sheltered spot in the garden, as they are not very hardy. 



GROUP XXVII. TJie Clynophylla Rose. Lucida 

 Duplex," which we place under this heading, is one of the 

 loveliest of blush Roses. I must confess that I have some 

 doubt whether it is in its right position here, and shall 

 not be surprised if in the future some other group should 

 establish a stronger claim to its possession. 



SECTION XII. 



GROUP XXVIII. The Microphylla Rose. The original 

 Microphylla Rose is an exceedingly pretty variety, well 

 suited for placing against a south wall. Both leaves and 

 flowers are distinct and interesting. 



GROUP XXIX. The Rugosa Rose. Where large 

 showy Roses are valued these flowers will not fail to please, 

 and the bright scarlet fruit of the " Regeliana " and the 

 " Rugosa alba " is very attractive in the autumn.
