more. Generally speaking, the Noisette, Isle de Bourbon, 

 and tea-scented varieties, were found the most tender ; hybrids, 

 between the China Rose and European species, were much 

 less affected; the beautiful Rosa ruga, a mule between Rosa 

 indica and arvensis did not suffer in the least at Pitmaston, 

 or even at Redleaf, where the Noisette, and every description 

 of China Rose, was killed down to the ground. It w 7 as, how- 

 ever very different in Cornwall and South Wales ; at Car- 

 clew, Rosa involucrata was the only Rose that suffered, while 

 Rosa microphylla close beside it was uninjured. At Sketty, 

 Rosa microphylla was slightly injured, but at that place no 

 other of a large collection was at all injured. At Penllargare 

 R. microphylla against a wall was quite unhurt. R. sinica 

 perished on a south wall in the Society's Garden. 



P^onia Moutan and papaveracea did not suffer at all in the 

 south of England, nor even at Claremont in various exposed 

 situations, or Glasgow, though unprotected ; but at Redleaf 

 three dozen large plants were so much injured, that it was 

 necessary to cut them down to the ground ; and I learn from 

 Mr. Herbert that they were equally damaged at Ickleton, 

 in Cambridgeshire. In some places, as at Sketty, the tree 

 paeonies flowered better than was ever remembered. 



Photinia serrulata, or Crataegus glabra, was uninjured at Carclew, 

 and at Singleton ; but it suffered a little at Sketty, and in the 

 midland and northern counties was either entirely destroyed 

 or very much injured ; it was observed at Dropmore, that 

 where most sheltered it suffered most ; an old plant on a 

 south wall in the Society's Garden was nearly killed. 



Podocarpus macrophyllus was killed at Carclew, at Redleaf, and 

 elsewhere. 



Raphiolepis indica was killed at Liverpool. It never bears even 



mild winters well, in the Society's Garden. 

 Thea viridis in a sheltered spot at Claremont escaped, but both it
