CATALOGUE OF ROSES.

Austrian or Yellow Roses. 
(Rosa lutea.) 
These require careful pruning. Remove weakly wood altogether, and only 
shorten a few inches the shoots left for flowering. If pruned close they will not 
bloom, as the flowers are produced from the terminal shoots of old wood. They 
are not grown on own roofs, but only as budded plants. 
Moss Roses. 
(Rosa centifolia musoosa.) 
This is a favorite class with every one, on account of their beautiful buds, 
which, tot bouquets and cut flowers, are invaluable. 
They are subject, as a class, to mildew, and require close pruning and high 
culture. They amply repay careful attention, by the increased size and beauty 
of the flowers. They are all very hardy. The foliage is generally somewhat 
crimpled. and has mostly seven leaflets. 
The charm of a Moss Rose is the bud. Such kinds as the Common. Gracilis , 
and Crested, with graceful buds, are especially recommended. Princess Adelaide 
is good both in bud and flower, and is grown upon its own roots. The other vari¬ 
eties are difficult to propagate, and are grown as budded plants , the prices of 
some are, therefore, made higher than others. Our plants this season are excep¬ 
tionally strong and fine. 
Miscellaneous Roses. 
In this class we place all the varieties of Summer Roses grown by us, that 
are not described in the three preceding classes, Blanchefleur and CEillet Flam- 
mande (French) Centifolia (Provence) Charles Lawson, Chenedolle, Coupe d’ Hebe, 
Emilie Hausburg, Madam Lacharme, Madam Plantier, Mile. Emma Hall, 
Magna Cliarta, Paul Ricaut, (Hybrid China) Madam Hardy, and Madam Z<et- 
man (Damask). Many of the groups of Summer Roses, by hybridization, are 
greatly intermixed; in some classes but one or two varieties are considered 
worth growing ; on this account we see no use in a catalogue for a multitude of 
divisions, and therefore place them all in one class.
