It is for the first time that hybrids of this very useful hardy rose are offered. They have been a great surprise to everyone who has seen them. They keep the same trailing habit, and the same fine green foliage lasting well into January, and the same freedom of growth as the parent form, some of them having made from a small cutting plant a shoot eighteen feet eight inches last season, and are there- fore well adapted for covering bare spaces on the ground, or for trailing purposes, for which they are invaluable.
