32 THE BOOK OF THE ROSE ch. ii 



N.E.S. has now classes for the exhibition of garden 

 Eoses, and issues a list of what may be shown 

 under this head ; but for general use, without 

 drawing any hard and fast line around them as a 

 class, the name is useful as representing the hardy, 

 strong-growing, free-flowering sorts, which do not 

 require much care, but are not up to exhibition 

 standard.
