ClassI\^.-MISCELLANEOUS ROSES. 



In this class we place all the varieties of Summer Eoses grown by us, that are not 

 described in the three preceding classes. Many of the groups of Summer Eoses, by 

 hybridization, are greatly intermixed ; in some classes but one or two varieties are con- 

 sidered worth growing ; on this account we see no use in a catalogu-e for a multitude of 

 divisions, and therefore place them all in one class. Any one desirous of information 

 respecting the diiFerent groups to which the following varieties belong, can be answered 

 by consulting most of the works on Eoses. 



We have also included some varieties heretofore classed with the Hybrid Eemon- 

 tants ; as they very seldom give any blooms in the Autumn, this is their appropriate 

 place. 



Blanchefleur. (Ft6eri, 1846.) Free. White, tinged Avith flesh; medium size, 

 flat; very fragrant and good. Blooms in great profusion very early in the season. 



Centifolia, Cabbage or Common Provence. Free. Eose color; large

Charles Lawson. Vig. Eose color; large, full flowers; fragrant. 



Chenedolle. Vig. Bright red; large and double; shoots very spiny.

 fragrance of the foliage, which is specially strong after a warm shower of rain. Small 

 plants 40 cents each.
