In many old Gardens in England may be found a semi-double white 

 Rose, a very robust grower, and half wild in its appearance. It seems to 

 flourish most in those Fanners' Gardens that have a portion of wilderness 

 attached to them. This is the " rosa alba," a native of the Continent, but 

 introduced into this country many years since. From it the annexed varie- 

 ties have proceeded ; they are very distinct ; branches green and thinly set 

 with thorns, leaves of a glaucous green; flowers of the most delicate hues 

 imaginable, from the purest white to a peculiar vivid rose colour, but so 

 delicate in their gradations that our terms cannot describe them accurately.
