Class IV. Noisette, Tea, and China Roses. —Of these 
the Noisettes and the tea-roses are the stronger growers, some of 
them forming quite fine bushes of secondary size. The foliage is 
smooth and fine, and the flowers of the Noisettes are borne in clus¬ 
ters. All are tender, but many of them may be left in the ground 
through the winter if skillfully covered in the fall. The tea roses 
are noted for the delicacy of their colors, and their delicious 
fragrance. The China (or Bengal) roses are the most delicate in 
growth, and the least hardy; and require to be removed to a 
green-house, plant-room, or cellar, after the first strong frosts. 
The following is a select list of good varieties of Noisette and 
tea roses: 
1. Aimee Vibert. —Pure white, small cupped flowers, in clus¬ 
ters. Bush small and low. One of the hardiest.

fect flowers, and a profuse bloomer.

5. Isabella Gray. —The deepest yellow. 
6. Jane Hardy. Golden yellow, very double, free bloomer, 
and rich foliage. 
7. Lamarque. —Pale lemon-yellow, very large flowers. 
8. Marechal Niel. —Deep yellow, very large, full, and fra¬ 
grant. New, and of distinguished beauty.
