little plants called fairy roses are nearly all varieties of #. Lawrencedza ; 
and nae are well worthy of culture, from their extreme dwarfness (often 
flowering when not more than 6in. high), and the beautiful colour of their 
miniature rose-buds, the petals of which appear of a much darker hue than 
those of the expanded flower.

Spec. Char., §c. Shoots cord-like. Prickles unequal and 
falcate. Leaves deciduous, and composed of 5—7 gla- 
brous, or indistinctly ciliated, leaflets, glaucescent beneath. 
Stipules diverging at the tip. Flowers solitary or globose. _ 
Sepals almost entire, short. Styles cohering into an “=”4 
elongated glabrous column. Fruit ovate, or ovate-globose, 
coriaceous, crimson, glabrous, or a little hispid, as well as__- 
the peduncles. (Dec. Prod., ii. p. 597.) In open situa- , 
tions, a trailing plant, sometimes rooting at the joints; ¢ 
but, in hedges, and among bushes, a climber by elonga- ¥ 
tion; reaching to their tops, and covering them with tufts 77} 
of foliage and flowers; the leaves remaining on late in 
the season; and the fruit often remaining on all the win- 
ter. The shoots are, in general, feeble, much divided, 
and entangled; and they generally produce, here and there, rugged ex- 
crescences, which readily take root. Hence, by budding the more rare sorts 
on the shoots, a little above these excrescences, and, after the buds have 
united, cutting off a portion of the shoot containing the excrescence at one 
end, and the inoculated bud at the other, and putting in these portions as 
cuttings, different varieties may be propagated with expedition and ease. 
Varieties. Several varieties are enumerated and described in De Candolle’s 
Prodromus ; but the only ones which we think truly distinct, and of general 
interest, are the following : —
