Descriptions of some Superb Kinds of Pillar Roses. By Mr. Charles Wood, Woodlands Nursery, near Uckfield, Sussex.
Trusting that the following information will be acceptable to your correspondent Azalea, I have ventured to annex a list of roses, which I can recommend with confidence.
...Some of the varieties of Rosa alba are very beautiful; between these aud the Damask roses I hardly know which to give the preference to, so I will annex ten names in each of the last mentioned classes, and leave it to your correspondent to choose accordingly.

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.

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.
Varieties of Rosa Alba.

Imbricated.—-The flower fiat, petals laying over each other like the centre of a good double Anemone.
