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.
1. Astrolâbe; flowers bright rose, very double; form, compact.

Hybrid Climbing Roses.
Astrolabe, Elegans, Hybrida, and some others of this class are not worth attention; all these roses bloom only once in the season, but are of considerable duration, say six weeks in cool seasons, but if in severe heat, their time of inflorescence will not exceed one month. The pruning and training recommended for Rosa Sempervirens will suit these. They are all fragrant, and a rosary cannot be complete without them.

Hybrid Climbing Roses.
These are hardy and strong growing roses, the origin of some of them not well ascertained. Among them, Astrolabe is a pretty, bright-coloured, and very double rose; not so vigorous in its growth as some others, but a distinct and good variety.

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.
Climbing Roses.
Astrolabe, rose colour, compact and double.

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