‘ (Don’s Mill., ii. p.571.) Native of Eastern 
Caucasus, in groves. Flowers white or red; 
single, but most commonly double. This , 
species is distinguished from R. damascéna by 47= 
the sepals not being reflexed, and the flowers 
having their petals curved inwards, so as, in 
the double state, to give the flower the ap- 
pearance of the heart of a cabbage ; whence the 
name of the cabbage rose. Its fruit is either 
oblong or roundish, but never elongated, From 
R. gallica it is distinguished by the flowers being 
drooping, and by the larger size of the prickles, 
with a more robust habit. A shrub, growing 
from 3 ft. to 6ft. high, and flowering in June 
and July. 49]
