HOSES. 
During the past year we have enriched our collection of Roses with the finest new varieties in 
the several classes, particularly the splendid Hybrid Perpetuals and Bourbons. 
The attention which is now given to the culture of the Rose in this country, and more particu- 
larly in Europe, is, every year, creating new and splendid varieties, which we will continue to pro- 
cure as early as practicable. 
The Hybird Perpetuals are, at present, the favorites. Of these we have now a fine collection, 
many of the new varieties have C03t us within the last year $3 00 each. 
In order to facilitate to our patrons the making of selections, we have arranged the Summer 
and Perpetual Roses in separate Divisions, and these Divisions in separate Classes, so that their 
peculiar characters and habits may be the more readily distinguished ; and with the same view, 
we have prefixed to each Class a few explanatory remarks. 
Soil asd Culture. — Roses cultivated in the garden, should have a rich, deep soil, and some- 
what heavy. AH, except the class of " Hybird China," should be regularly pruned in March, 
cutting out the surplus shoots, and shortening the remaining one till within five or six eyes of the 
bottom of the last year's growth. In the spring, as early as possible, they should be spaded and 
manured with well-rotted manure ; at the same time, all the suckers that have grown up around 
the roots should be removed ; then a good bloom may be expected. 
DIVISION I. 
Summer Roses— Flowering in June and July, 
CLASS I.— PROVENCE, QB CABRAGE ROSES. 
(Rosa Centifola.) 
This class is, perhaps, better known than any other. Who has not admired the beauty and fra- 
grance of a fine, old Cabbage Rose, that still remains beautiful, amidst all the surrounding changes 
and improvements? This class have all remarkably large and fragrant flowers, and are generally 
somewhat pendulous, caused by their size and weight.

This is a splendid' class of Roses, produced by hybridizing the hardy Garden RoseB and the Chi- 
nese, Bourbon, Tea-scented, Noisette, &c. Their growth is extremely rapid and vigorous; their 
foliage luxuriant and rich. They are admirably adapted for Pillar Roses, and for covering trel- 
lises, as their shoots, on a suitable soil, attain from five to eight feet high. They also form beauti
