The Hybrid Musk and Other Hybrids.
These Roses are hardy, and, with the exception of "Clair", vigorous growers, suited only for Climbers. "Madame d'Arblay" and "The Garland" partake of the nature of the Musk Rose, although possessing but little of its peculiar odour: they are prodigious growers, forming shoots fifteen feet long in one year, and of great stoutness, throwing one hundred or more flowers in a single truss.

Hybrid Climbing Roses.
To Hybrid Climbing Rosesm a very singular and pretty variety has been added. This I have raised from Italian seed. It produces abundance of flowers in large clusters, of bright crimson scarlet, nearly double, and, what is rare among climbing roses, they are very fragrant. I have named this rose "Sir John Sebright", as I have the honour of knowing that Sir John is an admirer of brilliant coloured climbing roses.
