TEA ROSES. 



The original rose (B. odorata) was only introduced about 

 1812, and from this have sprung our many fine varieties. 

 The treatment required is identical with that of the China 

 rose ; yet a richer soil, and more heat and light, may be 

 afforded to advantage. The former is easily done by in- 

 creasing the proportion of manure in potting. 



They also need more care, and are not so patient under 

 neglect. For summer bedding in the garden, they are un- 

 surpassed. Usually their growth is more delicate and 

 graceful than that of the China varieties. 



The following list includes some of the best varieties, 

 which may be relied upon for window or garden growth.
