CLASS XXT.— MICHIGAN OR PRAIRIE ROSES 



f iiis is a native class of Roses, totally distinct in foliage and producins flowers a month after the June Roses have passed.^ 

 The flowers are in very large clusters, remarkably changeable, and like the Greviile, present varying shades in the same 

 'Oluster. They are of exceedingly robust and rapid growthr making shoots of 12 or more feet in a season, and the numerous 

 seminal varieties which will doubtless be produced by hybriding this with other classes, cannot fail to form a new era"- 

 in the department of climbing roses, and we predict for "them a precedence over all others, as they will flourish in the coldest; 

 regions of our country.
