. Handbook of hardy trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants ... Based on the French work of Messrs. Decaisne and Naudin ...entitled 'Manuel de l'amateur des jardins,' and including the original woodcuts by Riocreux and Leblanc. Plants, Ornamental. RosaceaâRosa. 165. troduction into Europe dates from the beginning of the present century. The numerous va- rieties belonging to this section are dis- tributed by gardeners amongst the Tea, Bourbon, Hybrid Per- petual, etc., according as they favour one or the other of these groups. But from the continued crossing and recrossing which they have undergone, this classification is necessarily arbitrary, and merely serves as a comparative guide for the amateur. We must refer our readers to the nursery catalogues for detailed descriptions of these varieties. There are Dwarf Eoses in this group as well as in the Centi- folia; but whether we regard them as distinct species, or simply varieties, is of no importance here. Amongst the number is Miss Lawrence's Eose (-B. Lawrenciana), a true miniature of the Bengal Eose. It rarely exceeds a foot or a foot and a half in height, and its very slender branches are armed with large and almost straight prickles. The bright purple semi- double flowers are produced in abundance throughout the Summer. The Tea, Bengal, and Bourbon Eoses are often crossed with other species in our gardens, but perhaps more frequently in furnishing than receiving pollenâif, at least, we can place any confidence in the statements of horticulturists, who affirm that these Eoses are usually produced pretty faithfully from seed. Be this is as it may, it is very possible, as is supposed, that the Noisette Eose, R. Noisettiana (fig. 91), is to be attributed to a cross between the Tea, or Bengal Eose, and R. moschata, â raised from seed in America by a French gardener named Fig. 90.
