(1838) Page(s) 781. Hybrid China Roses, .....These roses are all hybrids between R. índica and R. gallica: "they are all very beautiful, and have that pleasing, glossy, sub-evergreen foliage peculiar to the China 'rose, but make a great deviation from that section, in not being perpetual bloomers; in this division are some of the most beautiful roses known; and, among them, George the Fourth, raised from seed by T. Rivers, jun., may rank among the best. These are also all very robust, and will grow and bloom well in the most unfavourable rose soils: their peculiar habit and vivid colours render them particularly well adapted for standards."
(1838) Page(s) 2560. Hoggii...An upright-branching shrub, with brownish purple branches, armed with numerous straight spreading unequal prickles. Leaves pale green; petiole and rachis slender, filiform, sparingly hairy and glandular; leaflets elliptical, mucronulate, doubly and sharply serrated, membranous, glabrous and concave above, sparingly glandular beneath, 1/2 inch long. The variety was brought from New York by Mr. James McNab, who received it from Mr. Thomas Hogg, nurseryman in the city, by whom the plant was raised from seeds of the single yellow rose; and it is known in the nurseries by the name of "Hogg's Yellow American Rose." It is a pretty variety; but it is surpassed in the fulness of its flowers, and in richness of colouring, by Williams's double yellow rose. It is of easy culture, flowers freely, and may be increased by layers, or by being budded on stocks of the sweet briar and dog rose.
