Légende

Large Rose-Tree (Hybrid China), at Mr. Buxton's Gardens, Wandsworth-Road, [London], 1850. 'This gigantic plant...growing in the nursery-ground of Mr. Buxton, in the Wandsworth-road, is what is termed a standard rose, of the Fulgian species, variety Hybrid China. This tree, unlike other descriptions of the same plant, improves in size and growth with age; and although 28 ft. in height, and 20 ft. in circumference, and bearing 2000 roses in bloom, it is not so large as it appeared in 1848; the proprietor having cut the branches to prevent their encroaching upon the garden-walk'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
