Adam is one of the largest roses in this family: its flowers are not so regularly shaped as the above; colour rose, very fragrant, and showy.
...Among our new varities of this class Adam is one of the finest; its flowers are very large, cupped, of the most perfect shape, very double, in colour fine glossy rose, and very fragrant.

Moss Rose...Etna is quite a new introduction; flowers double, of a good shape; colour fiery crimson or " pourpre feu;" still the term fiery scarcely expresses this colour, which is very striking in some roses at a great distance: thus that well known and justly admired hybrid China rose, Chenedole, is of a fiery crimson; for it glows with warmth of colour even at a distance of thirty or more yards.

[In the section on Rosa microphylla, a synonyms of Rosa roxburghii:] From Italian seed we have Alba Odorata, a vigorous-growing variety, partaking as much of the Macartney Rose in its habit as of Rosa microphylla: in fact, it is a complete hybrid. This is a good evergreen rose, producing an abundance of pale sulphur, or rather cream-coloured flowers: they are sweet-scented, but do no in general open freely.

Moss...Alice Leroy, recently raised at Angers, that most favourable of all climates for raising roses from seed, is of a robust habit, giving full-sized double flowers, rather a deep rose tinged with lilac.

A few new Bourbon roses, adapted for pillars, or for forming large standards, have lately been introduced. Amenaide is a rose of this character, with large and robust foliage, and large and very double flowers, of a light rose-colour.

Among the Bourbon roses of moderate growth...we have a few pale roses of much beauty; they differ but little, and yet they are different: the eye can distinguish, but the pen cannot describe. Of these Anne Beluze, Le Camée, Reine du Congrés, and Comtesse de Resseguier, have all been raised by M. Beluze of Lyons, and I presume from the same stock, - viz. Madame Nérard: like that very fine and well-known rose, they are all of the most delicate pinky blush, and all bear their flowers on erect flower-stems.

Antinous is a new rose, evidently between the French Rose and Crimson Perpetual, equalling that fine rose in form and fragrance, and surpassing it in beauty of colouring. This when first introduced did not bloom constantly in the autumn: it now, however, puts forth its fine crimson-purple flowers in September. It will therefore be much esteemed, as we have hitherto been accustomed to roses of more sober hues in that pleasant month.

A new family of climbing roses has been lately introduced from North America; we owe this group to Rosa rubifolia...A Mr. Feast, nurseryman at Baltimore, has been the originator of a few varieties....Baltimore Belle is described in the American catalogs as a pretty bright pink rose [ed. ?]. I have received a a rose twice from America under this name; in both instances Superba was sent.

THE PERPETUAL DAMASK ROSE.
Belle Italienne approaches very near to the Crimson Perpetual, except that its flowers are larger, and not quite so double: this is also a true perpetual.

THE PERPETUAL DAMASK ROSE.
Billiard, so named from a French rose amateur, is a pretty bright rose, very fragrant and double, and a true perpetual.
