HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

CHARACTER OF THE REMONTANT OR PERPETUAL ROSES.*
SEC. 6. BENGAL, OR CHINA ROSES.-The Roses of this section have a smooth bark-the branches generally but little thorny; the leaves more or less elongated and toothed; the flowers disposed in clusters or panicles-the slender shoots never giving but one flower. The capsule is round; the flowers are almost invariably colored, whilst in the Teas, to which these Roses are often related, the flowers are more frequently white or yellow. There are exceptions-Tea Bures, and many others.* The flowers of the Bengal are rarely odorous.
EXAMPLES.- Bengal Ordinaire (Daily China), Cramoisie superior (Agrippina), Eugene Hardy, Beau Carmine du Luxembourg, Augustine Hensan, &c.
*CARRIERE, formerly Chief Florist at the Museum, Paris, in the Reveue Horticole.
*The exceptions in this case are almost too numerous to allow the distinction to be of much practical value.-ED.
