Moss Roses. 
(Rosa centjfolia muscosa.) 
This is a favorite class with every one, on account of their beautiful buds which, for 
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 varieties are difficult 
to propagate, and are grown as budded plants. Our plants this season are exceptionally 
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 (Eillet Flammande (French) 
Centifolia (Provence) Charles Lawson, Chenedolle, Coupe d’llebe, Madam Lacharme, 
Madam Plantier, Magna Charta, Paul Verdier (Hybrid China) Madam Hardy, and Ma¬ 
dam Zmtman (Damask). Many of the groups of Summer Roses, by hybridization, are 
greatly intermixed ; in some classes but one or two varieties are considered worth grow¬ 
ing ; on this account we see no use in a catalogue for a multitude of divisions, and there¬ 
fore place them all in one classs.

PERPETUAL OR AUTUMNAL ROSES. 
Blooming continually, or at intervals from June to November. 
Bengal or China Roses. 
(Rosa Indica.) 
These are mostly of moderate growth, and though not fragrant are very appropriate 
and beautiful for beds on 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 
forjhe \\ indow Garden. All are on their own roots. 
Bourbon Roses. 
(Rosa Boukboniana.) 
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
