EOSES THAT BLOOM IN JUNE. 



foliage ; flowers of a rosy red color, quite large 

 and double ; its habit is quite dAvarf and stiff. 

 Double White Hip^ or Siceet Brier ; this is too dif- 

 ferent from the original to be classed with it ; 

 they are, however, remotely connected. The 

 growth is yer}^ strong ; we have plants seven feet 

 high, making a very superb pillar ; the foliage is 

 large, of a pale silvery green; the flowers are 

 very perfectly cupped, of a rose-white color. The 

 Double Yellow Sweet Brier^ will be nearly as 

 difficult to find as the Yellow Moss ; all I have 

 seen with that name are mere interlopers, being the 

 Eosa Harrisonii, "Williams's YelloA\^ Scotch, and 

 some not even meriting the name of yellow. 

 Strong shoots of the common sweet brier make 

 very good stocks to bud or graft upon, and are 

 extensively used in England for that purpose. 



KOSA LUTEA. 



THE YELLOW AUSTRIAN ROSE. 



Botanists do not appear to agree in consider- 

 ing Eosa Lutea and Eosa Sulphurea as distinct 



* The Austrian Brier, or, as it is called, Singh Yellow Siceet 

 Brier, is very common in many old gardens. The flowers are 

 ecjuallj'^ as bright as the Harrisonii, -with one side of the petals, 

 in certain staees, inclining to red.
