and a. [ 5229 cannot be conjectured. Some, however, remain near their originals, and very many can be referred to certain general stocks. For practical purposes the roses of culture have been loosely grouped as follows: (1) Climbing roses. Here belong the prairie-rose, and its offspring the queen of-the-prairies, Baltimore belle, etc., and the evergreen, Ayrshire, musk, many-flowered, and Banks i an stocks (see below). (2) Garden roses, non-climbers, blooming but once in the season; summer or June roses. Among these are the Scotch roses, derived from the burnet-rose, R. spinosi ima ( R. pimp in ell i folia ), a low bush of temperate Europe and Asia; the cinnamon and damask-roses; the Provins, hundred-leaved, or cabbage rose, R. cent i folia, among whose numerous varieties are most of the mo -roses; and the French or red rose, R. Gallica, prolific of variegated and other varieties. These are old favorites, now giving way to the next cla . (3) The so called hybrid perpetuals or autumn roses, best called remontants (see remontant ), as blooming not perpetually, but a second time after rest. The characteristic element in this group is from the China or Indian rose, R. Indica. They are large, brilliant, and hardy, afford the great fancy roses of the rosarians, and include such varieties as the Baronne Prévost, General Jacqueminot, and giant - of - battles. The Jacqueminot is forced in immense quantities for the market. (4) Roses blooming continuously. Here may be cla ed the Bourbons, originating in a cro between the China and a damask variety, a rather tender race, including the Souvenir de Malm a is on, a famous standard. More constant bloomers are varieties of the China rose known popularly as monthly roses, also called Bengal roses; the flowers are brilliant and abundant; the plant multiplies readily, and is the best for house culture. Another race of perpetuals is the noisette, derived from the musk and the tea-rose, mostly climbers. Lastly, here belong the tea-roses, or tea-scented roses, descended from var. odorata of the China rose, a race of numerous and in As the Roose in his Radne is Richest of floures.

A form in which precious stones, especially small diamonds, are frequently cut. Large rose diamonds were much used from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century, but are now quite obsolete. The characteristic of the rose is that it is flat below, and forms a hemisphere or low pyramid above, covered with small facets. When, as is usually the case, these facets are 24 in number, the cut is called a Dutch rose; when 36, a rose recoupée. The Brabant rose has also 24 facets, but they are flatter or le raised than in the Dutch rose. The rose cut is selected when the lo to the stone in cutting would be too great if the brilliant cut were selected. Rose diamonds are generally cut from plates cleaved from the crystals of diamonds while being cleaved into brilliant form. See brilliant. 17.
