growth, and a free flowerer; but the shoots are of a bramble-like 
texture, and the plant, in consequence, is but of temporary dura- 
tion. Mr. Donald’s &. Greville: died in three or four years. 
& R.m. 3 Russelliana is a variety differing considerably, in flowers and 
foliage, from the species, but retaining the fringed foot-stalk ; and is, 
hence, quite distinct from R. sempervirens Russellidna. 
& R.m. 4 Boursatlti Hort., Boursault’s Rose, is placed, in Don’s Miller, 
under this species ; though it differs more from the preceding variety 
than many species do from each other. It is comparatively a hard- 
wooded durable rose, and valuable for flowering early and freely. 
This is a very remarkable rose, from its petals having a reticulated 
appearance.
