ROSES.

I. A. C. ROSE.

This is our No. 1 of the many seedlings produced by fertilizing the Russian Rosa rugosa with pollen of the Gen. Jacquiminot. The bush is a rampant grower, now four and one feet in height with many branches. It is less thorny and its leaves are thicker, more leathery, and glossy than those of either parent So far it seems a model of health, and able to endure the extremes of summer heat and drouth.
