between R. Banksicv and R. Fortuncana. The former is 

 the true double-white, produced in clusters, and with an 

 exquisite Violet perfume. R. Fortuncana (Banksice alba) 

 is larger, the flowers are invariably produced singly and 

 sparsely, while the foliage is shining and smooth upon both 

 sides, and the peduncles extra bristly. It is said to be a 

 hybrid between R. Banksice and R. Fortuncana. 



Alba. Small, pure-white, very fragrant; in crowded 

 clusters. 



Fortuncana. White, of large size; solitary. 



Lutca (fig. 625). Small, single, bright-yellow; in 

 clusters ; very free. 



AUTUMNAL ROSES. 



Macartney Roses. — The varieties constituting this 

 small group have been obtained from R. bractcata, an 

 almost evergreen species, brought to this country from 



China by Lord Macartney. They are all rather tender, 

 requiring the protection of a wall with a sunny aspect. 

 The best are: — Alba Simplex, white, single; and Maria 

 Lconida, white, blush centre; showy foliage. 



Musk Roses. — From R. rAiosc/iata, Europe and China. 

 They are remarkable for the musk-like odour of their 

 flowers and long, somewhat rambling habit ; suitable for 

 training on pillars, &c, in warm situations, and against 

 walls in cold ones, flowering abundantly in the autumn. 

 Some of them are hybrids between R. moscho.to, and JR. 

 indica. 



Double White. Yellowish-white. 



Nivca. White, tinged with rose. 



Princesse de Nassau. Cream- white, very fragrant. 



Rivers' Music. Rosy-lilac, small, very double. 



Perpetual Moss Roses. — Obtained by crossing the 



Fig. 625.— Rosa lutea. 



Moss Rose with Hybrid Perpetuals. They are less mossy 

 than the true Moss Rose. They require a rich soil and 

 close pruning, flowering in summer and autumn. 



Alfred de Dalmas. Rose-edged, rosy-white, in clusters. 



Eugene de Savoie. Bright-red, full. 



Eugenie Guinnoiseau. Cherry-red to violet, large.

Perpetual White. White, well-mossed; vigorous. 



Raphael. Flesh -colour, large and full. 



Noisette Roses. — Supposed hybrids between the Musk 

 and the China Roses, introduced by M. Noisette of Paris. 

 Flowers in large clusters throughout the season till late 

 in autumn, succeeding with ordinary cultivation either as 

 standards or dwarfs. The strongest growers may also be 

 grown as weepers or climbers, and need little pruning, 

 These and the Teas are now so intermixed that, for all 

 practical purposes, they are the same. 



Aimee Vibert (fig. 626). Pure- white. 



Alister Stella Gray. Deep-yellow, orange centre, in 

 trusses; vigorous. 



Bouquet d'Or. Deep -yellow, large and full. 



Caroline Kuster. Bright orange-yellow; extra fine.

 quires a wall with a warm aspect.

 fect form; a magnificent Rose for a wall or under glass.

Triomphe de Rennes. Light-canary, large, fine form. 



William Allen Richardson. Orange-yellow and creamy- 

 white, variable. Good on a wall. 



Chinese Roses. — These have sprung from R. indica, a 

 native of China, and introduced into this country in 1796. 

 They are for the most part of dwarf habit, and being 

 tolerably hardy, may, in the warmer parts of the kingdom, 

 be planted in the open ground ; but in cold localities the 

 shelter of a wall is requisite, and in either case protection 

 should be afforded in winter by spreading a layer of tan 

 or litter over the roots, or by sticking evergreens, furze, 

 or fern among the branches. R. indica has had a share 

 in the origin of many classes, and imparts its almost per- 

 petual-blooming qualities to the Teas, Noisettes, Bour- 

 bons, &c. 



Cramoisie Superieurc. Rich-crimson, very free. 



Ducher. Pure-white, good form. 



Eugene Bcauharnais. Amaranth, dwarf.
