THE CINNAMON ROSE. Rosa ciiiuamoniea L. 



Everyone is familiar with this homely old fashioned pink 

 rose. The constancy of its presence about the abandoned homes 

 of the early mountain side clearings is an almost pathetic re- 

 minder of how our 

 grandmothers must have 

 carried the roots as 

 precious memories from 

 the gardens of their 

 childhood homes when 

 they invaded the wilder- 

 ness. It is so fully 

 doubled that it seems 

 rarely if ever to spread 

 from seed, but once es- 

 tablished the roots send 

 up new shoots year by 

 year, suppressing the un- 

 sightly docks and tansy which our herb-drinking ancestors al- 

 always introduced along with it.
