History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
country. Some of them are quite black, others shaped like a ranunculus, and many of them highly 
odoriferous. The most remarkable only are here arranged under the species to which they are referable. 
A modern invention, of Dutch origin, in the culture of roses, is that of forming standards, by bud- 
ding on stocks of any of the hardy woody growing sorts, as the dog rose, R. canina, or the tree rose, 
R, villosa. They are budded at different distances from the ground, according to taste and the purposes in 
view, and form, after a few years, handsome round heads, which flower freely, and preserve the variety a 
longer time than in plants raised from cuttings or layers. They are particularly valuable for shrubberies and 
lawns, where the culture at the root required by dwarf roses could not be given, and if omitted would 
occasion the degeneracy of the variety. 
New varieties of the rose are obtained from seed ; but the usual mode of propagation is by layers. All will 
grow by cuttings, and some, as the sempervirens, freely ; but that mode is seldom resorted to. For preserving 
delicate varieties, the best mode seems decidedly that of budding on hardier sorts. 
No species of rose, wild or cultivated, thrives well in or very near large towns, on account of the smoke and 
confined air. The yellow and Austrian roses (R. lutea and R. bicolor) are difficult to flower in any situation, 
but seldom or never blow in the suburbs of London : even the monthly rose does not thrive so well there as 
at some miles distance in the country. Roses are generally planted in the front of shrubberies, and in borders; 
they are also planted by themselves in rose gardens or rosaries, in groups on lawn, either with common 
edgings, or with edgings of wire, in imitation of basket-work. These last are called baskets of roses ; the 
ground enclosed in the basket-margin is made convex, so as to present a greater surface to the eye, and 
increase the illusion ; the shoots of the stronger sorts are layered or kept down by pegs till they strike roots
