ROSA INDICA5 ETC. 



Gros Charles, shaded rose, extremely large and fine. 



Hortensia, flesh color, very double, and an excellent rose. 



Indica, or common daily ^ dark blush or rose color — it is the 

 prototype of the family, and is a free-growing and 

 profuse blooming plant, and can withstand every va- 

 riety of treatment. The flower is about three inches 

 in diameter, and in our descriptions, where the word 

 lanje is used, it signifies that the flower is larger than 

 the present variety, and very large means still larger, 

 say four inches; extremely large, between four and 

 five inches. We have even seen roses in favorable 

 soils and cloudy weather six inches in diameter, and 

 would not be alarmed to see a hybrid Rose twenty- 

 one inches in circumference. 



alba, icMte daily or sarmeteuse of some, pure white, 



perfectly double, free-growing, and profuse in flower- 

 ing; it is much more tender than the former, but 

 does tolerably well when protected during winter. 

 In the Southern States, it is a great and growing fa- 

 vorite. Thousands of this rose have been grown and 

 sold in Philadelphia within these five years. 



minor var, Lawrencia flore pleno, delicate rose, a per- 

 fect rose in perfect miniature. 



Jacksonia,"^ hundred leaved daily ^ or crimson daily ^ bright 

 red, large and most perfectly double, of luxuriant 

 growth, and more prickly (spines) than any other 

 rose of the sort we have seen. 



Jacques Plantier, shaded crimson, expanded. 



L'Etna, bright light crimson, very double, globular, and very 

 distinct, is of a strong-growing habit. 



Lady Warrender, pure white, large cup form, very double, 

 and a great bloomer. 



La Caemens, rosy shaded crimson, very perfect form. 



Louis Philippe, dark crimson, very compact, globular, and 

 extremely double.
