China Roses.
No. 27. *Rosa Websteria. None of the China roses approaches this, except Hortensia, and it is much inferior. The rose is very double, and particularly well formed; colour similar to No. 8 [Rosa odorata], with a beautiful rich blush in the centre, flowing to the extremity of the petals. It blooms profusely, and grows freely in light rich soil.

Named in honour of D. Webster, Esq. whose productions deserve a place in every library; and this plant a spot in every garden.

*Those marked thus * we have grown from seed.
