As the Bourbon and China Roses have somewhat the same general characteristics, it seems most 

 convenient to place them together. They are mostly vigorous, upright growers, free and continuous 

 bloomers, and quite hardy both in regard to heat and cold. Some of them are among the hardiest Roses 

 there are, and almost all are noted for the large size of their flowers, their full, regular form and brilliant 

 colorings; also for their splendid Autumnal bloom, in which they surpass all other classes of Roses, not 

 only in the number and beauty of the flowers produced at this season, but in their exquisite colors, which 

 the cool days of Autumn seem to intensify in a remarkable degree ; so that, considering their hardiness 

 and vigorous growth, and almost entire freedom from the attacks of injurious insects, the large size, perfect 

 form and brilliant coloring of their flowers, and their early and continuous bloom, extending through all the 

 Summer and Autumn months, it is safe to say that the Bourbons and Chinas are among the very best and 

 most desirable ever-blooming Roses we have. A tight covering of evergreen branches, forest leaves or 

 garden litter put on in the beginning of Winter is usually all that is required to bring them through in good 

 shape, unless in very cold localities.

The Polyanthas are a lovely and distinct class of ever-blooming Roses, distinguished by their dwarf, 

 bushy habit of growth, medium size and very double flowers, which are delightfully fragrant and are borne 

 in large clusters and masses, frequently seeming to cover the whole plant with a sheet of bloom. They are 

 good, vigorous growers and constant and most profuse bloomers, very pretty, and highly recommended for 

 general planting, also for edges and borders to beds of the larger growing varieties. They are not entirely 

 hardy, but will often survive the Winters in favorable situations, with usual protection.

 are quite large, very full and round, delightfully perfumed and 

 borne in immense clusters. The color is fine ivory white, 

 delicately tinged with soft rosy blush. 20 cts. each.

 very full, with fine imbricated petals; lovely buff rose, deli- 

 cately shaded lemon and fawn ; extra fine. 15 cts. each.

Clotilde Soupert. 



( 77ie New Tea Polyantha.) — This lovely Rose comes 

 from the Garden of Luxembourg, France. It belongs to 

 the Polyantha class, but resembles the Tea Roses so closely 

 that it is called a Tea Polyantha, and is undoubtedly 

 the finest Rose of its class. The flowers are borne in 

 clusters, and are of large, round, flat form, with beautifully 

 imbricated petals; perfectly full and double, and deliciously 

 sweet; color beautiful pinkish amber or pale creamy yellow, 

 delicately flushed with silvery rose, sometimes ivory white, 

 exquisitely tinted with pale salmon, and sometimes both red 

 and white flowers are produced on the same plant. It is a 

 particularly elegant and handsome Rose, always greatly 

 admired. The bush is a vigorous and compact grower, and 

 a continuous and remarkably profuse bloomer, being literally 

 loaded with Roses throughout the whole growing season. It 

 is highly recommended for bedding in open ground, and also 

 for window and house culture ; moderately hardy if given a 

 good covering of leaves and litter before Winter begins. Be 

 sure and include this lovely Rose with your order. 20 cts. 

 each ; 3 for 50 cts.; 6 for $1.
