ARNOLD ARBORETUM NOTES. 



Rosa multibracteata is one of the 

 last of the new Chinese Roses to flow- 

 er. It is an attractive plant with small 

 leaves and small flowers in clusters, 

 the clear pale pink petals being deeply 

 notched at the apex. Vigorous young 

 shoots of this Rose are thickly covered 

 with bright red prickles and greatly 

 add to its beauty at the time when 

 it is in flower. 



Rosa gallica var. officinalis is flower- 

 ing for the first time in the Arboretum. 

 It is one of the Province Roses and is 

 sometimes called Rosa provincialis. 

 The large, handsome, partly double red 

 flowers are more fragrant than those 

 of most modern Roses. This Rose is 

 common in several old gardens in the 

 town of Medfield in this state. No 

 one now knows when and by whom it 

 was brought there. It has long been 

 known in French gardens, and there is 

 a beautiful picture of it by Redout e in 

 his great work on Roses published in 

 Paris more than a century ago. There 

 is a form of this Rose with paler- 

 colored flowers which is growing in a 

 garden in Weston in this state which 

 was brought from New Hampshire 

 where it is said to be common in old 

 gardens. Tradition credits the Hugue- 

 nots with having brought this Rose to 

 America. 



Tripterygium Regelii is flowering 

 well again this year in the Shrub Col- 

 lection and ou Hickory Path near Cen- 

 tre Street. It is a near relative of the 



Bitter Sweet (Celastrus) and a native 

 of Japan and Korea. It is a half climb- 

 ing shrub with stems sometimes forty 

 or fifty feet long in its native coun- 

 tries, large, long-pointed, dark green 

 leaves, and small white flowers in 

 great terminal clusters which are fol- 

 lowed by three-lohed and three-winged 

 fruits. This plant flowered in the Ar- 

 boretum when not more than three 

 feet high. The small plants have 

 erect, self-supporting stems, but large 

 plants will need the support of trees, 

 shrubs or rocks over which to stray. 

 This hardy shrub is well suited for 

 covering rocky banks or hillsides in 

 our northern states. 



Rhododendron (Azalea) viscosum, 

 which is the latest of the Azaleas to 

 flower in the Arboretum, is in bloom. 

 It is a common plant in the swamps of 

 southern New England where it is usu- 

 ally known as "Swamp Honeysuckle." 

 The small, pure white, clammy flowers 

 which continue to open during several 

 weeks are hidden by the new shoots of 

 the year which are often fully grown 

 before the first flowers open, and the 

 great value of this Azalea is found in 

 the fragrance of the flowers which 

 makes the neighborhood of an Azalea 

 swamp delightful. Although it grows 

 naturally in swamps, this Azalea grows 

 equally well transferred to a garden 

 border or to a hillside, as on Azalea 

 Path in the Arboretum where many 

 of these plants are now covered with 

 flowers.
