Other Species and Varieties of Rosa. — In the cata- logue of Messrs. Loddiges, 147 species are registered, s"' k-MsWi. of all of which, with one or two exceptions, there are living plants. The garden varieties in the same collection amount to about 1300. There is indeed no end to the garden varieties, new ones being every year raised from seed, and old varieties every year disappearing. New species are also occasionally introduced, and several have been lately raised in the Hort. Soc. Garden from Himalavan seeds. For species we recommend the cul- tivator to have recourse to the collection of Messrs. Loddiges, and for garden varieties to the most fashionable nurserymen of the time. In Rivers's Abridged List of Roses, 184)0, he recommends, as a selection for small gardens : — Pro- vence roses, 7 ; moss roses, 8; hybrid Provence roses, 7 ; hybrid China i-oses, 20; French roses, 16; JJosa alba, 9 ; damask roses, 6; Scotch roses, 8; sweet briars, .5 ; Austrian briars, 2; Ayrshire roses, 6 ; Rosa multiflfira, 3 ; evergreen roses, 7; Boursault rose
