In these characters we cannot find any thing to distinguish 

 this plant from Rosa arvensis ; the extraordinary length of 

 the branches being probably solely owing to culture. 



It has been known some years in our Nurseries, under the 

 name of the Ayrshire Rose, but upon what grounds it has 

 been so called is difficult to say, for upon the strictest enquiry, 

 as we are informed by Sir Joseph Banks, no Rose of the 

 kind could be heard of there or in any part of Scotland. 



Flowers in June and July.

 Banks, Bart, from his garden at Spring-Grove.
