DIVISION II. 
Perpetual or Autumnal Roses. 
Blooming Continually, or at Intervals from June to November. 
CLASS I.—BENGAL OR CHINA ROSES. 
(Rosa Indica.) 
ALL ARE ON TIIEIR OWN ROOTS. 
Those arc mostly of moderate growth, and though not fragrant are very appropriate and beautiful for beds ou 
a lawn, and for pot culture in the house. The foliage is in five leaflets, rather small. They bloom all Summer and 
Autumn in the open ground; but are more tender than any other class except the Teas. This class is admirably 
adapted for the Window Garden. 
AGRIPPINA, OR CRAMOISI-SUPERIEUR, mod. (Plantier, 183U.) Rich, velvety crimson, moderately double, 
fine in bud; a valuable bedding variety. One of the best. 50c. 
Douglass, free. (V. Verdier, 1813.) Crimson, medium size, semi-double ; fine buds. A valuable variety for forcing, 
giving larger buds than Agrippina. 50c. 
Ducher, free. (Dueher. I860.) Pure white, good form : medium size ; free bloomer. 50c. 
Duchess of Edinburgh, mod. ( Nabonnand , 1871,.) Seedling from Souvenir de David d’ Angers. Deep crimson, 
turning lighter as the bud expands ; of good size, moderately full ; flowers freely. 50c. 
.James Sprunt, vig. (Rev. James M. Sprunt, 1838.) A climbing sport from Agrippina. Crimson; the same color as 
the parent sort, but the flowers fuller and larger. 50c. 
Queens Scarlet, mod. (Hallock and Thorpe , 1880.) Crimson ; seems to be almost the same as Agrippina. 50c. 
Red Pet, mod. A miniature Rose with dark crimson tlowers produced continuously. 50c. 
CLASS II.—BOURBON ROSES. 
(Rosa Bourboniana.) 
ALL ARE ON THEIR OWN ROOTS. 
These are not quite hardy, but a very slight protection suffices them. Those of moderate growth require close 
pruning They are continual bloomers, mostly of rapid growth, with rich, luxuriant foliage, and arc the most 
beautiful in the Autumn. The flowers for the most part are produced in clusters, and are generally of light color, 
well shaped and somewhat fragrant. The moderate growers are mostly suitable for low beds on the lawn. Owing 
to hybridization with other classes, the varieties differ very greatly in their characteristics. 
Apolline, vig. (V. Verdier, 181A.) Rosy pink ; large cupped flowers, the best of all the Bourbons in open air. 50c. 
Edward Desfosses, free. (Renard-Courlier, 18U0.) Fine carmine rose; fragrant, good. 50c. 
George Peabody, mod. (Pcntland, 1857.) Rich crimson with a shade of carmine ; a bright attractive shade ; full; 
fragrant. One of the best. 50c. 
HERMOSA, mod. (Marcheseau, 1SU0.) Bright rose ; a most constant bloomer. One of the best. 50c. 
Louise Odier , vig. (Margottin, 1851.) Bright rose; large and of good shape; hardy. 50c. 
Kronprinzessin Victoria, vig. ( Spceth , 1887). A sport from Souvenir de la Malmaison; flowers milk white, tinted 
with sulphur yellow. 50c. 
Madame Baron Veillard, vig. (Vigneron, 1880.) Flowers large, full and cupped ; lilac rose ; fragrant. 50c. 
Mrs. Degraw. Resembles Apolline somewhat in leaf and flower, but is more compact in growth. In color it is a 
rich glossy pink, very fragrant, and is a remarkably prolific and continuous bloomer. It is said to be perfectly 
hardy south of New York. 50c. 
Mrs. Paul, vig. (Paul A Son, 1801.) Large open flower like a Camellia, with very bold, thick petals, perfectly 
arranged; blush white, with rosy peach shading ; very distinct. A fine autumnal rose. 75c. 
SOUVENIR DE LA MALMAISON, mod. (Bciuze, 181,3.) Delicate flesh, tinted with fawn ; flat form; very large 
and full, with rich foliage. A superb rose. 50c. 
CLASS III.—NOISETTE OR CHAMPNEY ROSES. 
(Rosa moscliata hybrida.) 
ALL ARE ON THEIR OWN ROOTS. 
The Noisette Rose is a product of America, and obtains its name from Philippe Noisette, a tlorist of Charleston, 
South Carolina. 
cannot now be made. 
The Group is naturally of vigorous growth, nearly hardy, and produces large clusters of flowers; but, through 
hybridization with the Tea section, the original characteristics have, in part, disappeared. I he varieties now 
generally grown are less hardy, and have partially lost the clustering tendency ; but the flowers have. ur ”°j'*' 
substance and are far more beautiful. As they now exist, they are valuable as Sarmentous oi 1 '■hir Roses in 
sheltered positions, and particularly so under glass. Nothing can be liner than a wall co\crcd with Lamai que or 
Cloth of Gold. The leaflets arc five to seven in number.
