The stronger and more woody kinds may be planted in a richer soil ; but the poorer the soil is, the dwarfer they will grow, and the more abundantly they will flower; they also require more water than the dwarf kinds, particularly at the flowering season, but need very little in winter. A good dry frame is sufficient to preserve them through the winter, with the covering of mats in frosty weather. Cuttings of any of them strike root readily, , planted in pots of earth, and kept dry till they begin to wither when they may have a little water, and they will root very soon. (Bot. Cult. 224.) 1147. Hymenogyne. From ὑμηv, a membrane, and γuvη, a woman, or, in botanical language, a style, in allusion to the cohesion of the styles into a membranous tube. An artificial division of Mesembryanthemum. 1148. Rosa. From rhos, signifying red in Armorican, whence ῥoδov, Greek, and rosa, Latin. The rose has been a favorite flower from time immemorial among the civilized nations of Europe and Asia. The shrub varies in size in different species, from one foot to six or eight, and the colors are red, white, yellow, purple, striped simple, or in almost numberless shades and mixtures; the flowers are single, semi-double, and double. The odour is universally grateful. It is cultivated in every garden, from that of the most humble cottager upwards some species, as R. centifolia, damascena, &c. are also cultivated by commercial gardeners on a large scale for distilling rose water, and for making attar, or essential oil of roses. Six pounds of rose leaves will impregnate by distillation a gallon of water strongly with their odor; but a hundred pounds affords scarcely half an ounce of attar. The rose is also used in medicine. Botanists are not agreed as to the number of ORDER II..

The most scientific work which has appeared in England on roses is the Rosarum Monographia of Mr. Lindley, 1819, in which above a hundred species or subspecies are described, and some of them figured; Miss Lawrence has published ninety plates of A Collection of Roses from Nature, 1810. In France, Guillemeau has published Histoire Naturelle de la Rose, 1800; and Redouté and Thory are engaged in a splendid work, in folio, entitled Les Roses, containing plates plates of all the known Les Roses, containing plates of all the known species and varieties of this flower. Thory has published a a separate tract on their culture, entitled Prodrome de la Monographie du Genre Rosier, &c. 1820 Pronville, Observations, &c., in 1820. A copious and intelligent account of the Scotch roses has been given by Mr. Sabine (Hort. Trans. iv. 231.), and some hundreds of new varieties have flowered from seedling plants in the Hammersmith nursery, and will soon be found in the sale catalogues.

Species and varieties. The lists of the London and Paris nurserymen contain upwards of 500 names: that of Calvert and Co., Englishmen, who have established a nursery at Bonne Nouvelle near Rouen, names enumerates Calvert and Co., Englishmen, who have established a nursery at Bonne Nouvelle near Rouen, enumerates near 900 sorts. The greater part of these have been raised , within the last thirty years, from seed on the continent, where it ripens better than in this country. A number of varieties have also been raised in Britain, especially of the R. spinosissima, or Scotch rose, of which above 300 varieties are procurable in the Glasgow nursery. New varieties are raised in France and Italy annually; Villaresi, royal gardener at Monza, has raised upwards of fifty varieties of Rosa indica; not one of which has, as far as we know, reached this 7480 alpína L.
