CLASS VIII. — HYBRID CHINESE KOSES. 



This class of Roses owes its origin to the hybridizing of the French, 

 Provence, and Damask Roses, with the Chinese Ever-blooming, Tea- 

 scented, Noisette, and Bourbon Roses. The varieties produced 

 from flowers thus blended, comprise the hybrids here enumerated. 

 Their foliage is highly luxuriant, their branches very vigorous, long, 

 and flexible; their flowers are of the richest hue and of the most 

 elegant and diversified forms, and many of them are delightfully fra- 

 grant, thus presenting a combination of all that is grand and beautiful in 

 this department of the Rose. They are peculiarly adapted for covering 

 pillars and trellises, their shoots on strong plants frequently growing 

 from 5 to 10 feet in one season. Although they bloom but once, yet that 

 takes place at a much earlier period than the Summer Roses, and is of 

 longer duration. If pruned after flowering, several of the varieties will 

 throw out some autumnal blooms. They are propagated on their own 

 bottoms, and also budded as standards, and are as hardy as the com- 

 monest Garden Rose. 



The flowers of all the varieties are cupped except where otherwise 

 denoted.
