SELECT ROSES, AND THEIR MANAGEMENT.

3. Oid White. 
4. Old Yellow. 
The Banksian roses require a wall to bring 
them to perfection. They should not be cut 
in the winter or spring, but the shoots left the 
full length till they have done flowering, when 
they may be cut as much as is requisite. The 
shoots that are made after this must be nailed 
in ; but should too many shoots push out, all 
the unnecessary ones should be taken out, 
while it can be done with the thumb and 
finger. 
Multiflora Roses. 
1. Alba, or Old White, white. 
2. Grevillei, or Seven Sisters, bright rose, 
variable. 
3. Laure Davoust, pink, changing to white. 
4. Rubra, or Old Red, pale rose. 
5. Superba, pencilled rose. 
The shoots of this class are very liable to 
be injured during winter, which frequently 
cannot be seen till April, which month would 
be the best to prune them. Leave as much of 
last year's wood as possible. These flower in 
very large clusters. Nos. 1 and 4 are very 
small, but pretty ; 2, 3, and 5 are larger. 
Prairie Roses. 
1. Baltimore Belle, pale blush. 
2. Caradori Allan, brilliant pink. 
3. Queen of the Prairies, bright reddish 
pink, with whitish stripe. 
4. Superba, pale pink. 
In pruning this class the shoots should be 
cut about half-way back. They are very 
hardy, but our climate seems too damp for 
them to open their flowers well if planted 
away from a wall. 
AUTUMNAL, OR PERPETUAL ROSES. 
Roses that flower more or less from June 
till November. The roses of this section have 
now become very general favourites, perhaps 
hardly deservedly so, as only a few of them 
show their greatest beauties till late in sum- 
mer, particularly in dry seasons ; they appear 
to require longer nights and cooler weather 
than we wish to have in the months of June 
and July. For small gardens there can be no 
question that it is best to have such as con- 
tinue flowering throughout the summer and 
autumn ; but in gardens, where upwards of 
thirty varieties can be grown, a judicious mix- 
ture of summer and autumnal flowerina: ones 
would be preferable ; for however splendid 
the present autumnal flowering ones may be, 
they do not compensate for the gorgeous dis- 
play made by the summer flowering kinds 
in the months of June and July. 
In dry summers all perpetual roses should 
have the ground stirred about four inches 
deep, (taking care not to injure the roots,) 
and well soaked with manure-water just before 
the first lot of bloom is over, and should the 
season continue dry, they will require water- 
ing once a week at least throughout the sea- 
son. As the flowers drop cut off" the old 
flower-stems. 
Perpetual Moss Roses. 
1. Perpetual Crimson, brilliant crimson. 
2. Perpetual Red, deep rose. 
Here we certainly have two moss roses that 
give a second crop of flowers. They partake 
very much of the character of some of the 
damask perpetuals in the formation of their 
bark and buds. No. 1 is a very strong grower, 
and in colour is very like the mos3 Celina ; 
No. 2 is a dwarf compact grower, and blooms 
in fine clusters. 
Damask Perpetual Roses. 
1. Bernard, rosy salmon. 
2. Billiard, bright rose. 
3. Duchesse de Rohan, deep red. 
4. Julie de Krudner, light pink. 
5. La Capricieuse, rose, changing to bright 
red. 
6. La Favourite, pale blush, tinted with 
fawn. 
7. Mogador, brilliant crimson purple. 
8. Rose du Roi, brilliant crimson. 
9. Torrida, rich dark crimson. 
10. Thiers, deep rose, lighter centre. 
Nos. 1, 7, and 8, are without rivals. The 
scent of the whole of this class of roses is not 
surpassed even by the moss and Provence 
roses. They are all well adapted for beds or 
standards, being of neat compact habit. No. 9 
is very dwarf. All are good roses for autumn 
exhibitions ; and for bouquets, the scent will 
generally give them the preference. 
Hybrid Perpetual Roses. 
1. Baron Prevost, bright rose. 
2. Clementine Seringe, pale rose. 
3. Comtesse Duchatel, brilliant rose. 
4. Dr. Marx, rosy carmine. 
5. Duchess of Sutherland, mottled bright 
rose. 
6. Geant des Batailles, bright crimson, 
nearly scarlet. 
7. Lady Alice Peel, deep veined pink. 
8. Louis Bonaparte, rosy crimson. 
9. Madame Laffay, brilliant crimson. 
10. Marquisa Boccella, pale rosy blush. 
11. Marquis of Ailsa, rosy crimson. 
12. Mrs. Elliot, bright lilac crimson. 
13. Robin Hood, deep bright cherry red. 
14. William Jesse, light crimson. 
15. Cornet, bright deep pink. 
16. Cymedor, at first opening the colour is 
something like the scarlet ten-week Stock, 
but fades of a purple hue.
