A very common climbing Rose in the gardens of Italy 
and the South of France, where itis highly ornamental, from _ 
the profusion of its snow-white flowers, and the handsome 
shining appearance of its evergreen leavés. 
It is less suited to this climate, im consequence of being 
rather tender; I have seen it howeyef in great beauty trained’ 
to a south wall: and it was from a similar situation, in the 
Nursery of Messrs. Whitley and Osborn of Fulham, that the 
specimen now figured was obtained in May 1835. 
It is a native of China, where it appears to be the com- 
mon Dog Rose of the country. Now that the races of culti-

intermixtüre, it is well worth ascertaining how far this is 
suited to alter the foliage and size of blossoms of some of
