N continuing our list of plants adapt- 

 ed for window gardening, we come 

 to the queen of flowers, the Rose. 

 A book, rather than a portion of 

 a chapter, should be devoted to this 

 flower ; but as our space is limited, we must 

 with a word, dismiss the large divisions of 

 June, Hardy or Hybrid Perpetuals, Pro- 

 vence, Damask, Galic, Moss, Climbing, Austrian, 

 Noisette, and Banksian Roses, each of which would require 

 a separate treatise, and confine ourselves to the China, 

 Bourbon, and Tea families. 



Many of the others are of great value for the green- 

 house, some being, in our climate, purely green-house 

 roses, and others being invaluable for forcing; but none 

 succeed with parlor culture, though many are well known 

 in the garden, and may claim more than a passing mention 

 when we come to the concluding portion of our book, 

 the Flower Garden and Shrubbery.
