China Roses.
The everblooming habit of this class makes it a favorite with all. They are perfectly hardy, Summer and Winter, and require but little care to bloom abundantly; though they richly repay a proper degree of care and attention.
41. Abbe Maillard—deep rich crimson, very showy and attractive.
All of this class form the most beautiful and brilliant beds or groups on the lawn; one color only being planted in a bed. Agrippina makes a most showy division hedge, and with care would make a very perfect fence. Abbe Maillard, Fabvier, Nemesis and Prince Charles may all be grown in the same way.
They require little more in the way of pruning than to cut out the weak sprays, and shorten back the stronger shoots to induce a growth of new wood, which bears the flowers.

The Autumnal Roses.
The Bourbon Roses are real "perpetuals" or "remontants" rather, blooming more or less freely from frost to frost again. They are less thorny than either [the Hybrid Perpetuals or Damask Perpetuals], the thorns being strong and usually light-colored. The leaves are firm, almost leathery, smooth and glossy. The petals or flower-leaves are also unusually thick, and with a peculiar satin-like or burnished appearance that adds much to their beauty, and enables them to endure the heat of a summer's sun hot enough to cause all others to flag. The growth is hardy and luxuriant.
26. Acidalie—white, often tinted with rose; a most superb variety, and the only good white rose in the group.
Bourbon roses require but little pruning. Towards the end of February, their shoots may be thinned, and the long ones shortened.

42. Agrippina or Cramoisie Superieure—rich brilliant crimson; large; beautifully cupped; each petal or flower-leaf has a delicate, clear white stripe down its centre. One of the most showy and desirable of all.

...The Hon. Marshall P. Wilder, of Massachusetts, eminent as a Horticulturist, says: .."The Augusta Rose is certainly an excellent variety, having in its growth the characteristics of the Noisette, while in bloom and fragrance it seems nearly allied to the teas. ...its flower is very pure and delicate in color; its form globular and perfect, and although very double and full, appears to expand its buds freely..." From Messrs. Thorburn & Co., N. York, and Newark, N.J.- " This is the finest American (or any other of its class) Rose ever raised - is a hard outside runner - beautiful deep green glossy foliage, similar to the Cloth of Gold; the flowers of a deep nankeen yellow, full cupped to the centre, and of the delicious tea fragrance..." Messrs. Thorp, Smith, Hanchett & Co., Nurserymen, of Syracuse, New York, hold the entire stock of this rose until May 1853, when they offered plants for sale at Five dollars each, or one dozen, to one address, for $40."

The Damask Perpetuals include some of the most perfect and constant blooming perpetuals. There are several others, embraced in the foregoing list, which might, with greater propriety, be included here—such as Blanche (Vibert), Louis Puget, Madame Aimee, Marquise Bocella, &c. 
170. Bernard—salmon pink; an extremely beautiful and fragrant rose, of dwarf habit.

The Mosses
Bloom with us, in greater profusion and perfection every Spring, and are indeed magnificent. Five hundred half-opened buds and fully expanded flowers have been counted, of a morning, on single plants!
The half-opened bud, so delicately and modestly concealed in its mossy covering, is one of the loveliest of floral gems.
314. Blush—a delicate blush, old but fine and distinct.
