68 ROSA INDICA, ETC. [April. 
Gros Charles, shaded rose, extremely large and fine. 
Hortensia, flesh colour, very double, and an excellent rose. 
Indica, or common daily, dark blush or rose colour — 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 
large, 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 favourable 
soils and cloudy weather six inches in diameter, and 
would not be alarmed to see a hybrid Rose twenty- 
one inches in circumference. 
alba, white daily or sarmeleuse 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- 
vourite. Thousands of this rose have been grown and 
sold in Philadelphia within these five years. 
minor var, ftawrencia 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.
