original species of this genus : some regard all the European species as originated from one source ; others, 
and especially the moderns, divide them into species, subspecies, and varieties. The most scientific work 
which has appeared in England on roses is the Rosarum Monographia of Mr. Lindley, 1819, in which above a 
hundred species or subspecies are described, and some of them figured ; Miss Lawrence has published 
ninety plates of A Collection of Roses from Nature, 1810. In France, Guillemeau has published Histoire 
Naturelle de la Rose, 1800 ; and Redoute and Thory are engaged in a splendid work, in folio, entitled 
Les Roses, containing plates of all the known species and varieties of this flower. Thory has published a 
separate tract on their culture, entitled Prodrome de la Monographic du Genre Rosier, &c. 1820 ; Pronville, 
a Nomenclature Raisonnee, in 1818 ; and Vibert, Observations, &c., in 1820. A copious and intelligent 
account of the Scotch roses has been given by Mr. Sabine {Hort. Trans, iv. 231.), and some hundreds of 
new varieties have flowered from seedling plants in the Hammersmith nursery, and will soon be found in the 
sale catalogues. 
Species and varieties. The lists of the London and Paris nurserymen contain upwards of 500 names : that 
of Calvert and Co., Englishmen, who have established a nursery at Bonne Nouvelle near Rouen, enumerates 
near 900 sorts. The greater part of these have been raised, within the last thirty years, from seed on the con- 
tinent, where it ripens better than in this country. A number of varieties have also been raised in Britain, 
especially of the R. spinosissima, or Scotch rose, of which above 300 varieties are procurable in the Glasgow 
nursery. New varieties are raised in France and Italy annually ; Villaresi, royal gardener at Monza, has 
raised upvvards of fifty varieties of Rosa indica ; not one of which, has, as far as we know, reached this
