CLASS IV.— NOISETTE ROSES. Rosa Champneyana. 

 This class of Roses owes its origin to the late John Champney, 

 of Chariestonj S. C, who raised tfie '"Champney Rose" from the- 

 White Musk, impregnated by the old Blush China. 'The most remark- 

 able characteristics of this class are thejarofusion of flowers produced, 

 and the immense clusters or corymbs m which they are comprised. 

 This apphes to nearly all the varieties, many of which combine forty 

 to sixty buds in a single cluster. The flowers vary exceedingly in mag- 

 nitude, the greater number being of smaller or moderate size, and ex- 

 ceedingly delicate and beautiful, while others are so large that they may 

 be ranked among the most splendid of the whole family of Roses. The 

 large and magnificent yellow varieties recently produced, and enumer- 

 ated in the following- list, form a new era in this very desirable class of 

 the Rose family. They possess the same property of blooming through- 

 out the summer and autumn, as the three preceding classes, and the 

 flowers of almost every variety are of cupped form. Most of the va- 

 rieties are hardy, and others nearly so, requiring but slight protection. 

 Those varieties 'marked P, form io'ng flexible shoots, well adapted for 

 training on the columns or rafters of greenhouses, or on the sides of 

 buildings, and on trellises, arbors, &c.
