cluding the “mossy” and “ pompone” roses; and R. gallica 
(the French or officinal rose), with its varieties, among which is 
included one known asR. Gallica, var. parviflora (the Burgundy 
rose). 
§ 6. Villose. These are most readily known by the straight¬

the root-suckers, also, are erect. Rosa alba (the white rose), 
with its varieties, the celestial, maiden’s blush, &c., are included 
in this section. 
§ 7. RuBiGiNosiE. These plants may be known by the nu¬

lutea (the yellow Eglantine rose , or Austrian briar), and 
R. rubiginosa (the Eglantine, or sweet briar), are here included. 
§ 8. Canine. The plants in this section are distinguished by 
their equal hooked prickles, their ovate, mostly glandless, leaves, 
their deciduous sepals, and their arched root-suckers. It com¬

Noisettes; R. semperflorens (the everflowering rose) ; and

graceful branches, their drooping flowers, and their usually 
ternate shining leaves ; their deciduous, subulate, or very narrow 
stipules afford also a mark of distinction. Rosa sinica (the 
trifoliate China rose), and R. Banksia (the Banksian rose), 
which is one of the most handsome of all roses, are included 
here. 
The object of the present paper being to treat on the culture 
of these plants in pots, the remarks it contains will be most 
readily intelligible, by selecting a few of the kind as illustrative
