THE CHASE NURSERIES. 
Bonrbons, Bengals or Chinas, Noisettes, and all of those sorts which are suited lor 
either the open ground or house culture not named among the Hardy class. They are 
all tender and must be removed to the house during the winter, although the Hybrid 
Teas can be left in the ground if they are protected by a covering of straw, leaves, 
evergreen boughs, or something of that kind. They do well in the garden during the 
summer, and if planted in good soil most of the varieties will bloom continually. The 
Climbing roses are all hardy, and should be planted out-of doors. They bloom profusely 
in June, and some varieties show an occasional blossom during the summer and fall. 
They are valuable for covering trellises, porches, rocks, etc. All of the Moss roses are 
extremely hardy ; most of them are very fragrant ; they are excellent June bloomers, 
and some varieties bloom occasionally during the summer and autumn. The distinctive 
feature of the class is the "mossy" covering of the green outer leaves of the bud, 
which gives them an exquisite beauty to be found in no other rose.
