Rose Clare Garden Variety. This was sent from Italy by the gentleman whose name it bears, with several other very beautiful Roses. Its exact origin is not known to us. It has now for several years been growing against a west wall in the Garden of the Horticultural Society, but it does not appear likely to exceed the stature of five or six feet.
The great beauty of the variety consists in its constant flowering, and the deep rich crimson of its petals; besides which, its foliage is of a rich deep green, evergreen, and not more affected by cold than that of the common China. One would think it a hybrid between Rosa indica and Rosa sempervirens, if either of those species possessed the deep tint found in its flowers; in that respect it agrees with R. semperflorens, but there is nothing else in its habit to indicate such parentage. In its styles it conforms to Rosa sempervirens, of which it ought perhaps to be considered a domesticated variety.
It strikes freely from cuttings. J.L.
