Class 1. -BENGAL or CHINA ROSES. 



(EosA Indica.) 



These are mostly of moderate growth, and though not fragrant are very appropriate 

 and beautiful for beds on a lawn, and for pot culture in the house. The foliage is 

 in five leaflets, rather small. They bloom all Summer and Autumn in the open ground ; 

 but are more tender than any of the other classes except theTeas. This class is admir- 

 ably adapted for the Window Garden. All are on their own roots. 



AGKIPPINA or CKAMOISI-SUPERIEUR. (From China, 1789.) 

 Mod. Kich velvety crimson, moderately double, fine in bud ; a valuable bedding 

 variety. One of the best. 



Douglass. ( F. Verdier, 184:8.) Free. Crimson, medium size, semi-double; fine 

 buds. A valuable variety for forcing, giving larger buds than Agrippina. 



Ducher. (Ducher, 1869.) Free. Pure white good form; medium size, free 

 bloomer. 



Duchess of Edinburgh. {Nabonnand, 1874.) Mod. Seedling from Souvenir 

 de David d' Angers. Deep crimson, turning lighter as the bud expands ; of good size, 

 moderately full. This was sent out by Veitch as a crimson Tea, but it shows more of 

 the Bengal characteristics than of the Tea. 



Class II.-BOURBON ROSES. 



(EOSA BOURBONIANA.) 



These are not quite hardy, but a very slight protection suffices them. Those of 

 moderate growth require close pruning. They are continual bloomers, mostly of rapid 

 growth, with rich, luxuriant foliage, and are the most beautiful in the Autumn. The 

 flowers for the most part, are produced in clusters, and are generally of light color, well 

 shaped and somewhat fragrant. The moderate growers are mostly suitable for low beds 

 on the lawn. Owing to hybridization with other classes,the varieties differ very greatly 

 in their characteristics. All are on their own roots. 



_ APPOLLINE. ( V. Verdier, 1848.) Kaised from Pierre de St. Cyr. Vig. Kosy 

 pink ; large cupped flowers. The best of all the Bourbons, in open air.

BUCHESSE de THURINGE. {Guillot, 1847.) Free. White, slight!}-
