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 light 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.
