Aurore, an old but fine rose, a hybrid of the yellow China and Rosa odorata, and partaking of both, for its flowers are, when first open, of a delicate straw colour, soon changing to blush.

Climbing Roses.
Division First. The Ayrshire Rose. (Rosa arvensis hybrida.)
...the Ayrshire Queen, the only dark Ayrshire Rose known, was originated by myself in 1835, from the Blush Ayrshire, impregnated with the Tuscany Rose. But one seed germinated, and the plant produced has proved a complete hybrid. Its flowers are of the same shape, and not more double than those of the Blush Ayrshire, its female parent; but they have all the dark purplish crimson of the Tuscany Rose. It has lost a portion of the vigorous climbing habit of the Ayrshire, but yet makes an excellent pillar rose. Till we can get a dark Ayrshire Rose, double as a Ranunculus, it will be acceptable.

Sempervirens. Banksiaeflora is more fragrant than the generality of these roses; it seems hybridised in a trifling degree with the old Musk Rose, which has probably imparted a little of its delightful perfume; this has small and very double white flowers.

Banse is a large and very superb rose, not a new variety, but rare; this is a rose worth careful cultivation.
(1837)  Page(s) 22-3.  
 
The Summer Rose Garden.
Hybrid China Roses.
Beauty of Billiard is, of all roses, the most glowing and beautiful: its colour is described in the catalogue as scarlet; but it is rather a fiery crimson, so vivid that it may be distinguished at an immense 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 always be taken in winter pruning to leave its shoots nearly their full length.

Hybrid China Roses.
Becquet is a pretty distinct dark crimson flower, very double and well shaped.

The Summer Rose Garden.
The White Rose. (Rosa alba.)
Belle Clementine, an old but very pretty variety, a hybrid, departing in a slight degree from the characters of the group, often produces flowers finely mottled; it is a luxuriant grower, and forms a fine standard.
(1837)  Page(s) 12.  
 
The Summer Rose Garden.
The French Rose.
(Rosa gallica.)
Belle de Fontenay is now a well-known variety, but quite unique, as its margined flowers are distinct and characteristic.
(1837)  Page(s) 23.  
 
Belle de Rosny is a hybrid noisette, blooming in large clusters, of first-rate quality.
