A low erect bush with short ascending branches, with a few 

 glandular setae and aciculi mixed amongst the prickles. Leaflets 

 m shape and serration just like those of the type, greyisli-green, 

 naked above, thinly hairy beneath. Peduncles and sepals of the 

 type, but the petals of a "beautiful glowing red" and larger 

 than in any British Eose ; only the head of the stigmas protruded 

 beyond the disk ; the styles thinly hairy ; the fruit roundish and 

 orange-red, like that o^ gallica in size and shape.

 that it is a hvbrid with one of the GallicarKs.
