6. Hyzrrp Teas anp Notserres came to be crossed with Hybrid Perpe- 
tuals, and the result of these and other crosses has been a race of roses known 
as Hybrid Teas. They occupy a kind of midway position. They should succeed 
very well with us. They flower with remarkable freedom. A few may be 
mentioned :—Augustine Guinoisseau, Camoens, Captain Christy, Caroline 
Testout, Ciara Watson, Countess of Pembroke, Danmark, Kaiserin Augusta 
Victoria, La Fraicheur, La France, Lady Mary Fitzwilliam, Madame Jules 
Finger, Madame Pernet-Ducher, Marquise de Salisbury, Souvenir de President 
Carnot, The Meteor, White Lady. 
7. Bourzon Rosss, including Chinese and their Hybrids, and Hybrids of 
Bourbons and Noisettes, such as: Acidale, A. Maille, Climbing Souvenir de 
Malmaison, Dr. Berthet, Lorna Doone, Mrs. Bosanquet, Mrs. Paul, Souvenir de 
Malmaison, &c. 
8. Ausrrian Brrars.—Strong growing, fragrant. 
9. Scorcn /Aanp Swerr Brrar Hyprrps.—An English nobleman, Lord 
Penzance, has, within the last few years, produced a new and interesting race of 
roses by crossing the Scotch and Sweet Briars with other varieties. They still 
have the charming scent which renders the Sweet Briar such a favourite in 
England, but, in addition, these roses are beautiful in the colours of their flowers, 
which are produced in great profusion. 
10. AyrsHtrE Roses.—These are of the rambling type, and good for 
covering fences, &c., requiring chiefly to be let alone. 
11. Japanese Roses.—Single and semi-single roses, continuous flowering, 
but not of very brilliant appearance. : 
12. Ponyanrna Roses.—A few charming roses are included in this type. 
They are small flowered, but the blooms are exceedingly neat. Crimson 
Rambler, Cecil Brunner, Etoile d’Or, Little Dot, Perle d’Or, Parquerette, and 
Souvenir d’Elise Chatelard are of this type. ~ 
CULTIVATION, 
For roses you want a rich, well-drained, and somewhat heavy soil, and the 
rose requires that you liberally supply it with decaying substances in the shape of | 
manure, well-decomposed stable or farmyard manure by preference. The ground 
should be trenched, or, if the drainage is already good, a very deep digging will 
suffice. You will find amongst the roses enumerated in the foregoing lists 
sufficient to give youa great variety, both of habit and colour. A great deal of 
disappointment frequently arises from the mistake of putting in a lot of mixed 
roses together under the belief that simply because they happen to be all roses 
they will look much alike in habit and appearance generally when they come to 
be established. As a matter of fact the general appearance turns out to be 
ragged in the extreme. 
By going carefully through a good rose catalogue you can pick out a good 
selection if you go about it systematically. Write the name of each rose on a 
separate slip of paper. Under the name write if it is a climber, a dwarf, a 
bedding rose, &c. Under that write its colour, keeping those to a. few prevailing 
hues. Under this you can write any remarks, and then you have simply to sort 
your slips out into any number of classes as regards vgour, colour, adaptability 
for certain purposes, such as covering for arbours, bedding, pillars, &e.
