 free flowering, blooming at every shoot.

 particular except color, which is pure white, occasionally tinged with blush. 



CLASS VII.— MISCELLANEOUS ROSES. (Half Hardy.) 



The Roses enumerated in this class may be regarded as true perpetuals, and are particularly 

 valuable for summer flowering and bedding out. 



Apolline, [B.] w^. {V. Verdier, 1878.) Rosy pink ; large cupped flowers, the best of all the Bourbons in 

 open air.

 Tea. Salmon pink, with deep salmon center; very small, full, delicately scented; admirable in bud 

 and open flower. An exquisite miniature rose for floral work. Highly commended.

 is a vigorous grower and free bloomer, quite as hardy as Hermosa and other roses of that class. 

 Valuable for bedding out for summer flowers.

 fully imbricated like an aster ; produced in clusters ; pearly white, with rosy lake centers, liable to 

 vary, producing often red and white flowers on same plant. Valuable for florists for designs, or as a 

 market pot plant, being a remarkably free and constant bloomer, and of easy culture. One of the 

 most valuable roses.
