The Hybrid China Rose
The Hybrid China Rose has arisen from various crosses among the French, Provence and other summer kinds, with the China, Noissette and Bourbon Roses.

For along time the various of this class were our most beautiful and cherished roses but like nearly all of the summer sorts, they are outshone and outlasted by various Remontants.

In this connection it may be remarked that about one-fourth of the roses which are sent out as Hybrid Perpetuals should properly be placed among the Hybrid Chinas, for the flowers which they produced autumn are the exception and not the rule.

A Hybrid China which blooms more than once during the season; if this classification were carried out, we should to-day ne growing many more Hybrid Chinas and many less Hybrid Perpetuals.

On account of the diverse parentage of the varieties in this group, coming from so many different classes, there is great dissimilarity in the appearance of the different sorts, but most of them are rapid growers, with long, flexible shoots; smooth, luxuriant foliage; large, rather numerous, thorn; globular or cup-shaped flowers, which are freely produced in their season.

Those of vigorous growth, and most of then are such , require but little pruning.
