SINGLE ROSES. 
Single Roses are highly decorative in the flower garden, and so beautiful for Vases and Bouquets in the 
cut state that every garden should possess some of the varieties. All we catalogue are quite distinct, but particular 
attention may be directed to the varieties of Rugosa , which in addition to producing a constant succession of their 
showy white and red blossoms, bear in autumn and winter clusters of large crimson berries, which in contrast with 
the deep green foliage forms a most attractive object in any border. The beautiful and distinct Copper Austrian 
Briar , and the Macartney Simplex , with its bright shining evergreen foliage and large pure white blossoms, form 
handsome subjects for dwarf walls. Pan Is Single Crimson and White Perpetuals are charming for the mixed 
border or Rose bed, and the new Crimson Bedder we now offer will be invaluable for bedding and cutting.

MINIATURE or FAIRY ROSES. 
A very pretty and ornamental class of Roses which have been much improved by the additions made during 
the last season or two. The plants are very compact in habit, and bear in great profusion pretty small double 
flowers. These varieties are admirably suited for pot culture as conservatory plants ; for planting out for edgings 
of rose beds (the pretty Lawrenciana Rubra and White Fairy with their tiny double flowers and foliage being 
particularly suited for this purpose), or for forming mixed beds ; in the latter case, if planted in variety with the 
°ld Blush or Crimson China as a contrast to the other light shades of colour, a very attractive and interesting bed 
which will be always in flower may be provided. — Strong dwarf plants, each is. ; per dozen, 9s. 
Anne Marie de Montravel, flowers very diminutive, 
of the purest white. A perfect Fairy Rose, deli- 
ciously perfumed. 
Blanche Rebatel, bright crimson, white centre, very 
distinct and pretty. 
Clothilde Soupert, pure white, with a distinct pink 
centre, most exquisitely shaped. 
Etoile d’Or, citron yellow, shading to pale chrome 
yellow, very free. 
Etoile de Mai, nankeen yellow, passing to pale 
yellow. 
Floribunda, fresh lilac rose, fine form. 
Georges Pernet, rose changing to peach, with yellow 
shading, very free, a charming novelty. 
Any variety of Rose required which we do not catalogue we shall he pleased to procure and supply at current prices.
