Garden-group G. Multiflora. The Multiflora group divides itself naturally into the Multiflora true and Polyantha. i?. mnUiflora, the parent type, is charac- teristic of the varieties here, the flowers being produced in large corymbs and continuing over a comparatively long time. This group is particularly well adapted to the wild garden. There are many hybrids, which are. 2170. La France, a famous Hybrid Tea Rose (X >^). This picture was made from the White La France. The origi- nal La France is pink. known in cultivation under the general term of Ram- bler Roses. The Polyantha section has given a fairly hardy variety in Crimson Rambler.

Some cluster Roses of the ludica or Tea alliance popularly called Polyanthas do not belong here. Garden-group 7. JSrergreen.
