flowering from June to August. This is 
only known in its double-flowered state in 
British gardens. It is a freely growing hardy 
plant, with large double flowers, and is de- 
sirable both in flower-gardens and shrub- 
beries. It is not of a robust habit, but 
forms a bush about 3 ft., or perhaps more, 
in height. According to Dr. Lindley, this 
rose forms a taller bush than R. lucida, but 
is of a more straggling habit. It is, he says, 
“a naked straggling briar, with scarcely a 
vestige of prickles on the shoots; its flowers 
are on long stalks, the mouth of the fruit 
is so wide, that the fruit itself is nearly 
hemispherical ; and the sepals are reflexed.”
