The Scotch Rose.
A list of named varieties of the Scotch Rose would, from their multiplicity, and want of distinctness, be even more unsatisfactory than the florist's lists of pansies or verbenas. The following, however, are good:
Flora, Daphne, Erebus, Venus, and the Countess of Glasgow, are of deep shades of rose and crimson.
