among rocks. Eosa rugosa, of Asia, is a 

 sturdy representative, and one perhaps 

 destined to play an important part in 

 the future in hybrid work. 



The swamp rose, Bosa Carolina, de- 

 lights the eye when forming groups in 

 its favorite haunts, the shores of lakes 

 and streams or in swamps. 



The Burnet or single Scotch rose, Rosa 

 spinosissima, is a European resident. 

 There are many forms of this, one known 

 as the variety Altaica. 



Kosa lutea, a native of western Asia, 

 Italy and Austria, is known as the Aus- 

 trian brier, and has been known in cul- 

 tivation as far back as 1586. 



Kosa bracteata, the Macartney rose, 

 wild in southern China and Formosa, un- 

 fortunately is not hardy in the north, 

 and from its range this is to be ex- 

 pected. It is just as unfortunate, how- 

 ever, as it is a lovely rose. It has be- 

 come naturalized in Florida and Louisi- 

 ana. 



Eosa laevigata, the Cherokee rose, is a 

 native of China, Formosa and Japan. 

 This is practically the range of Kosa 

 bracteata, so of course it is not hardy 

 in the north. It is, however, extensively 

 naturalized in the south, and I recall 

 with delight the beauties of this charm- 

 ing rose as I saw it growing wild on 

 the fences in Florida. 



We usually think' of the rose leaf as 

 being made up of three or more divisions 

 or leaflets, but in far-oflf Persia there 

 is a rose with only one leaflet. This 

 hardly seems like a rose at all. It is 

 known as Eosa berberifolia, the barberry- 

 leaved rose. Some botanists keep it sep- 

 arate from the genus Kosa, calling it 

 Hulthemia berberifolia. 



Two Great Progenitors. 



I have left for consideration until the 

 last these two roses, Kosa Indica, the 

 China rose, and Kosa Gallica, the French 

 rose, for they are the progenitors of the 

 great majority of the roses in cultivation. 

 Is it not odd that, of all the forms which 

 have been mentioned, only two have en- 

 tered largely into the production of what 

 is known as the garden rose? But such 

 is the case. What wonders may await 

 us, when combinations which are possi- 

 ble with all the others are tried, only 

 time and experience can tell. 



Rosa Indica, the China rose, in which 

 is usually included by botanists Eosa 

 semperflorens, is well known to you all. 

 It is the autumn-blooming qualities of 

 this rose which have given us our most 

 valuable roses, and raised the rose from 

 a mere summer visitor to a perpetual 

 delight. The form known as the true 

 Eosa Indica is the old blush monthly, 

 and was introduced into cultivation in 

 1718; the other form, known as the old 

 crimson, was not introduced until 1789. 

 As the history of the rose develops, the
