CLASS XIX. AYRSHIRE ROSES. RoSd CtrvenSlS. 



This class has very long, small, flexile 6hoots which grow 12 to 15 feet or more in a season. The flowers are small, 

 peculiarly delicate, and beautiful. All are cup shaped but No. 720, which is expanded, and No. 728, which is globular. All 

 the varieties are of the most hardy character, having originated from the common hedge rose of England.

class xx. — evergreen roses. Rosa sempervirens. 



The varieties of this class are subevergreen climbers, with neat glossy foliage, which they hold till January. They 

 grow rapidly, forming long shoots which resemble the Ayrshire in their small size and flexile character. Some of the 

 varieties need a slight winter protection of leaves, litter, or earth.

CLASS XXI. MICHIGAN OR PRAIRIE ROSES. RoSd rubifolia. 



This is a native class of Roses, totally distinct in foliage and producing flowers a month after the June Roses have passed. 

 The flowers are in very large clusters, remarkably changeable, and like the Greville, present varying shades in the same 

 cluster. They are of exceedingly robust and rapid growth, making shoots of 12 or more feet in a season, and the numerous 

 seminal varieties which will doubtless be produced by hybriding this with other classes, cannot fail to form a new era 

 in the department of climbing roses, and we predict for them a precedence over all others, as they will flourish in the coldest 

 regions of our country.

class xxii. — moss roses. Rosa centifolia muscosa. 



This class of Roses is greatly esteemed for the extremely beautiful and striking appearance of the flower buds before 

 expansion, which are covered with a most singular mossy appendage. The flowers of most of the varieties are beautiful, 

 more especially of the new ones which have been latterly brought to notice.
