A Description of Roses. By Mr. T. Rivers, jun., Nurseryman, Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire.
In attempting a descriptive catalogue of Roses, I hope to be excused errors, which it seems almost impossible wholly to avoid. Roses vary so much in their form and colour in different seasons and situations, as sometimes scarcely to be recognised... what I hope to accomplish is, to give an idea of what they ought to be in form and colour, under favourable circumstances of soil and situations; and where there is so much confusion as at present in the names and arrangement of Roses, to be among the first in attempting a correct nomenclature.
Rosa gallica (or French Roses.).
A fleurs a Feuilles Marbré, purple crimson marbled, compact and very double.

The following terms are used to express the form of the Flower:
Compact.—Petals stiff, close and upright, resembling a double Ranunculus.

"Superb Roses".
We scarcely need remark that all the best sorts of Roses are exhibited in competition at the London Floral Shows. From them we made selections of the very best, and also in looking over the collections in the principal Rose nurseries. We can strongly recommend to our readers the kinds we enumerate...
Bourbon Roses. Acidalie, white, large, beautiful.
These roses may be trained to form pillar roses of six feet or less as desired, a strong turfy loam well enriched suits this class admirably, manure-water is beneficial. These roses bloom from June to December.

A Description of Climbing & Autumnal Flowering Roses, by the Rev. James Jones, A. M. Bristow Rectory.
Many of the Autumnal Flowering Roses being now in bloom, both climbers and others, I forward for insertion in the Cabinet, a list of what I know to be good. The kinds I have seen in bloom, and have carefully compared the flowers with the descriptions given by Mr. Rivers, Mr. Wood, and others, celebrated for growing Roses, that I can testify to their correctness and agreement, as to merit. I have forwarded the list now in order that, being inserted immediately, it will be serviceable to those persons desirous of procuring plants for autumn planting.
