The Polyantha or Fairy Roses. 



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.

 imbricated petals ; perfectly full and double,
