756 ARBORETUM AND FRUTICETUM. PART III. 
Godefroy Cat.; R. a. miltiplex Ser.; R. m{xta Tratt. Ros., 1. p. 136. ; is a very hand- 
some variety with double red flowers and glaucescent leaves ; the stem and branches are 
almost unarmed ; the peduncles are hispid ; and the sepals are dilated at their apex. 
% 21. R. sua‘vis Willd. The sweet Rose. 
Identification. Willd. Enum. Suppl., p. 37.; Link. Enum., 2. p. 57.; 
Don’s Mill., 2. p. 567 
Engravings, Hayne Abbild., t. 40.; and our fig. 484. 
Spec. Char., &c. Stem hispid. Leaves glabrous, glaucescent beneath. 
Peduncles and petioles clothed with glandular bristles. (Don’s Miil., ii. 
p. 567.) Petals deep purple, deeply 2-lobed. Fruit oblong, glabrous. 
Cultivated in 1818 ; growing to the height of 3 ft. or 4 ft., and flowering 
in June and July. This very distinct variety, or perhaps species, of 
rose is probably at present wanting in British collections; for it must 
not be confounded with dsa suaveolens or with Adsa suavifodlia, 
both described in Le Botaniste Cultivateur as varieties of R. rubigi- 
ndsa, or synonymes to that species. The genus Zdsa is, indeed, liable 
to such extreme variation, that it would not surprise us in the least 
to be informed that R. suavis (fig. 484.) is also a variety of ZR. rubi- 
gindsa. It is not known of what country &. suavis is a native; and 
this circumstance renders it not improbable that it may be a garden 
production. 
@ 22. R. actcuta‘ris Lindl. The needle-prickled Rose.

Engraving. Lindl. Ros., t. 8. 
Spec. Char., §c. Tall. Prickles acicular, unequal. Leaflets glaucous, wrinkled, rather convex. 
Fruit rather flask-shaped, drooping. (Don’s Miil., ii. p. 567.) Flowers solitary, pale blush, fragrant. 
Fruit obovate, naked, of a yellowish orange colour. Native of Siberia, Introduced in 1805 ; 
growing to the height of from 6 ft. to 8 ft., and flowering in May and June. 
& 23. R. LuTe’scens Pursh. The yellow American Rose.

Engravings. Lindl. Ros., t. 9.; Bot. Mag., t. 1570. ; and our fig. 485. 
Spec. Char., §c. Prickles of branches crowded, unequal, slen- 
der, reflexed; of the branchlets, small and nearly equal. 
Leaflets flat, glabrous, simply serrated. (Don's Mill., ii. 
p- 568.) Flowers pale yellow. Fruit large, ovate, black. 
Native of North America and Siberia. Introduced in 1780; 
growing to the height of from 4 ft. to 6 ft., and flowering in 
May and June. It forms a very distinct variety, or probably 
species, and, on that account, is well deserving a place in 
botanical collections.

tish. Tube hemispherical. (Don’s Mill., ii.

Flowers large, of a fine transparent yellow, 
always double. Native of the Levant. In- 
troduced before 1629 ; growing to the height 
of from 4 ft. to 10 ft., and flowering in July. 
This sort does not flower freely, except in 
open airy situations ; and, if trained against 
a wall, exposed to the north or east rather 
than to the south. Its flower buds are apt 
to burst on one side before they expand, 
and consequently to become deformed; to 
prevent this, the blossom buds should be 
thinned, and care taken that they have 
abundance of light and air. Watering it 
freely in the flowering season is also found 
advantageous; and the shoots, in general,
