The Tea Scented China Rose.
Rosa Indica odorata.
Anteros, or Antherose, is a blush white rose, with a yellowish or fawn centre, and very double; its growth is vigorous, and it is well suited for forcing.

Hybrid China Roses.
Beauty of Billiard is, of all roses, the most glowing and beautiful; its color is described in the catalogues as scarlet; but it is rather a fiery crimson, so vivid that it may be distinguished at a great distance. This rose also requires care in using the knife; the extreme tips of the branches may be cut off, and some of them thinned out; it will then bloom in great perfection, but care must be taken in winter pruning to leave the shoots nearly their full length.

The Noisette or Champney Rose.
Rosa Champneyana.
Perhaps no new roses ever excited more attention than the two varieties which were first produced of this interesting family. When first received in France, the Parisian amateurs were enraptured with it, its habits being so peculiar and distinct from every other class. The origin of the first varieties of this remarkable group, has been announced erroneously to the world by various writers, arising first from the want of candor on the part of the late Philippe Noisette of Charleston, when he transmitted the plants to Paris; and, secondly, from the ignorance of those who have discussed the subject. The original variety is the Champney Rose, or Champneys' Pink Cluster, a rose long well known and very widely diffused. It was raised from seed by the late John Champney, Esq., of Charleston, S.C., an eminent and most liberal votary of Flora, from the seed of the White Musk Rose, or Rosa Moschata, fertilized by the old Blush China, and as he had been for a long period in constant correspondence with the late William Prince, he most kindly presented him with two tubs, each containing six plants, grown from cuttings of the original plant. From these an immense number were propagated and sent to England and France. The old Blush Noisette Rose was raised a few years after by Philippe Noisette, of Charleston, from the seed of the Champney Rose, and this he sent to his brother Louis Noisette of Paris, under the name of the Noisette Rose. It is more double than its parent, and of much more dwarf and compact growth; the flowers in very large dense panicles. The old Champney's Pink Cluster, although not full double, is still a favorite for its rapid growth, its appropriateness for pillars and other climbing positions, and for the profusion of its flowers which are in very large panicles much more diffuse than the preceding variety. The subsequent varieties have been produced from both the primitive ones I have named, but as the Champney rose produces seeds far more abundantly than the Blush Noisette, it has doubtless been the parent of much the greatest number.

The Musk Rose.
Rosa moschata.
The Blush Musk, or Fraser's pink Musk, or Rosa Fraserii, is not a pure Musk Rose, but a hybrid of the Noisette class, which was raised at Charleston, SC, about the same time as the Champney and Noisette Roses, and was carried thence to England by Mr. John Fraser; it is of a blush color, and quite fragrant; its flowers are semi-double, in large clusters, but it has now been cast aside.

Indica Major, Bengalensis scandens, Duchess of Dino, Walton Rose, or Rose Blanche, is doubtless a hybrid between the China and Sempervirens: it is of the most vigorous and luxuriant growth, richly clad with large lucid foliage, nearly evergreen: it will make shoots of ten to fifteen feet in a season, and may be trained over a diameter of thirty feet or more, and to twenty feet or more in height; the flower buds are edged with pink and peculiarly beautiful; the flowers expand early, are very large, measuring about three and a half inches in diameter, full double, white, suffused with delicate touches of pale blush color. When a large and expanded plant is in full bloom, it is remarkably striking and attractive. It is well suited to cover unsightly buildings or walls.

The Noisette or Champney Rose. Rosa Champneyana.
Jaune Desprez, Triomph d'Arcole or French Yellow Noisette, is a well-known and much-esteemed rose, of rapid growth and quite hardy; as a pillar or standard it is equally beautiful; its fragrance is also very remarkable. This was originated by M. Desprez about eighteen years since, and is still, and will be for some time to come, a very popular rose. It is, most probably, a hybrid between the Yellow Tea and a Noisette rose of some kind: it sold for a high price in France, when first sent forth to the rose world, its name being very tempting, for a yellow fragrant Noisette rose was deemed worth any price. Its rosy copper-colored flowers are very singular, and so powerfully fragrant that one plant will perfume a large garden in the cool weather of autumn. A pillar of this rose, twelve to twenty feet high, wotld be a grand object on a lawn.
