(CLASSIII.— NOISETTE OR CHAMPNEY ROSES. 



{Rosa moschata hybrida.) 



ALL ARE ON THIER OWN ROOTS. 



The Noisette Rose is a product of America, and obtains its name from Philippe Noisette, a florist 

 of Charleston, South Carolina. 



John Champney, of Charleston, from the seed of the White Musk Rose, fertilized by the Blush 

 China, raised a variety which was called Champney's Pink Cluster. A few years after this, 

 Philippe Noisette, from the seed of Champney's Pink Cluster, raised the Blush Noisette, and this 

 he sent to his brother, Louis Noisette, of Paris,'under the name of Noisette Rose. The true name, 

 therefore, for this class, should be the Champney, but the change cannot now be made. 



The Group is naturally of vigorous growth, nearly hardy, and produces large clusters of flowers; 

 but, through hybridization with the Tea section, the original characteristics have, in part, disap- 

 peared. The varieties n( w generally grown are less hardy, and have partially lost the clustering 

 tendency; but the flowers have much more substance and are far more beautiful. As they now 

 exist, they are valuable as Sarmentous or Pillar Roses in sheltered positions, and particularly so 

 under glass. Nothing can be finer than a wall covered with Lamarque or Cloth of Gold. The 

 leaflets are five to sevgn in number.

 1859.) Raised from Solfaterre, fertilized by Safrano; creamy yellow, with a salmon 

 tinge. 50 cents.

 Lamarque. Deep yellow center, with sulphur edges; large double flowers. A mag- 

 nificent variety but difficult to grow. Prune sparingly. 50 cents. 



LAMARQUE, vig. {Marechal, 1830.) White with sulphur centre; flowers 

 in clusters; generally seven leaflets. A magnificent climbing rose under glass. 50 

 cents. 



MARECHAL NIEL, free. {Pradel, 1864.) Said to be a seedling from 

 Lsabella Gray. Deep yellow; very large; very full; globular; highly scented. It is 

 of delicate constitution and requires careful treatment; it should not be severely 

 pruned. The finest of all Yellow Roses. 50 cents.

 Safrano hloo^. 50 cents

CLASS IV.— TEA ROSES. 



[Rosa Iiidica odoi ata.) 



ALL ARE ON THEIK OWN ROOTS. 



The Tea Rose may well be taken as a synonym for all that is delicately beautiful. What refine- 

 ment of color, what subdued yet powerful fragrance do they possess ! They may justly be called 

 the sweetest of all roses. The flowers, many of them, are large and very delicate in their shades 

 of colors, such as white, straw, salmon and various tints of rose combined with these. While as a 

 rule, they are inferior to the Hybrid Perpetuals in brilUancy of color and fullness of flower, the
