The rose "Bella" was sent out a few years ago as a white Tea rose surpassing all others grown, &c. We have had this rose several times from head quarters and have never seen a white flower on it yet, although we have grown thousands of plants. The color with us is a pale greenish lemon....

The Cherokee Rose
[Of the thousands of cuttings of the Cherokee Rose of South Carolina, distributed gratuitously, by Mr. Rowan, we have very few reports. We had the pleasure to see it growing most luxuriantly at Plimhimmon, in Talbot county, in October last, on a rich and rather moist spot of ground. We were highly gratified with its appearance of health and prospect of continued vigorous growth. The branches were very long, and seemed to have grown very rapidly, but inclined to spread on the ground.

It is due to Mr. Rowan, and will be acceptable to the public to publish even the following brief notice of the success of these plants, being all we have received, and this not being intended for publication. the writer's name is omitted.]

Mr. Wm. H. Tilghman, who is particularly attentive to whatever he undertakes, has growing a very beautiful hedge, on the north side of his garden, composed of a row of cedars and a line of Cherokees one foot from them on their south front. The long arms of the *nondescript* have certainly manifested a fondness for embracing and entwining the branches of the cedars, and the combination of these two beautiful evergreens is rapidly forming a very ornamental enclosure.

You probably observed that though the growth you saw was vigorous, many of the arms having flung off 6, 8, and 10 feet, they evidenced a disposition to trail too much, and are too low yet for a good fence. This idea of a middle line of cedars with a guard row of Cherokees on both sides, if the Cherokees can be prevented from strangling the cedars to death, may be useful. The cedars will give support to the rose, and the requisite height to the fence; the strong thorns of the roses would completely guard the cedars, and the combination form an impervious, most useful, and beautiful hedge.
