The China ever-blowing rose, R. damascena of Roxburgh, Adnee gula, gulsurkh, bearing handsome dark crimson blossoms during the whole of the year; it is branching and bushy, but rather delicate, and wants odour.

David Lester Richardson, Principal of the Hindu Metropolitan College
The Madras rose, or Rose Edward, a variety of R. centifolia, Gul ssudburuk, is the most common, and has multiplied so fast within a few years, that no garden is without it; it blossoms all the year round, producing large bunches of buds at the extremities of its shoots of the year; but, if handsome, well-shaped flowers are desired, these must be thinned out on their first appearance, to one or two, or at the most three on each stalk. It is a pretty flower, but has little fragrance. This and the other double sorts require a rich loam rather inclining to clay, and they must be kept moist.

The Sweet briar R. rubiginosa, Gul nusreen usturoon, grows to a large size, and blossoms freely in India, but is apt to become straggling, although, if carefully clipped, it may be raised as a hedge the same as in England ; it is so universally a favorite as to need no description.

There is another rose also called the Banksian Rose extremely small, very double, white ; expanding from March till May ; highly scented with violets.

I may add to Mr. Speede's list of Roses the Banksian Rose. The flowers are yellow, in clusters, and scentless. Mrs. Gore says it was imported into England from the Calcutta Botanical Garden ; it is called Wong-moueheong.
