DESCRIPTIVE LIST OF ROSES 
Abbreviations used in this Catalogue. 
HABIT OF GROWTH.—Vlg., for vigorous; Rob., for robust; Mod., for moderate; Dwf., for dwarf. 
The letter “ F ” placed immediately after the name indicates such varieties as are best suited for forcing and general 
pot culture; the letter “ P ” such varieties as are best for pillars; the letter “ S ” for Show Roses; and the letter “C ” 
for climbers. The kinds marked * are of hardy free growth, well-suited for planting in the vicinity of large towns. The 
varieties to which our name is affixed were either raised or introduced by us. 
Tea-Scented Roses and their Hybrids 
IN TWO GROUPS (R. Indica odorata) 
The Tea Roses are celebrated for their extreme delicacy of colouring and delicious fragrance as supplying the various shades of yellow 
wanting amongst the Hybrid Perpetuals they are invaluable, and they answer well in the forcing house, for pot culture under glass, and also 
for planting in the conservatory. Many kinds produce flowers quite up to the exhibition standard. When planted out of doors the chief thing 
necessary for their successful cultivation is a soil well drained; and if it be not naturally so, this point must be obtained by artificial means. 
A rich light soil is preferable, and a slight protection against frost suffices. We have found branches of the Fern (Pteris aquilina) which grows 
plentifully on most commons, stuck loosely amongst the plants so as not to exclude the circulation of the air, to answer this end. 
It may be removed once or twice during the winter in mild dry weather. Fir or Furze branches will answer the same purpose. 
Group 1-CLIMBING VARIETIES 
These are specially valuable for climbing in greenhouses and conservatories. They are very useful for training on walls out-of-doors, 
and they also make fine Standard, Pillar, and Weeping Roses; some protection is necessary for them in very cold weather.
