The first has weak stalks, which send out 

 many Slender branches closely armed with short 

 crooked brown prickles : the leaflets two or three 

 pairs, ovate and thin, smooth, of a light green, 

 sharply serrate : the flowers on short peduncles, 

 single, bright yellow, without scent. Jl is a 

 native of Germany, &c. 



There is a variety termed the Austrian Rose, 

 which has the stalks, branches and leaves like 

 those of the Single Yellow Rose, but the leaves 

 are rounder. The flow ers are also larger ; the 

 petals have deep indentures at their points ; are 

 of a pale yellow on the outside, and ot a reddish 

 copper colour, orange-scarlet, or Barn colour 

 within ; are single, have no scent, or a disa- 

 greeable one, and soon fall away. It has some- 

 times flowers entirely vciiowon one branch, ami 

 copper-coloured on another. 



'1 he second species differs from the preceding, 

 not only in the doublencss of the flowers j but 

 in having the leaflets 6imply serrate, not glan- 

 dular, pubescent and glaucous underneath; 

 whereas in that they are doubly serrate, glan- 

 dular and glutinous, and of a shining green co- 

 lour, the stipules lacerated ; the fruits hemi- 

 spherical and glandular, which in the other are 

 subglobular and smooth : the prickles on the 

 stem are of two sorts in this ; a tew being larger, 

 and many smaller. It is a native of the Levant, 

 ung later than that, as in July. 

 The third has the stems, when full grown, 

 unarmed; the younger ones, or those of the 

 ♦irst year, are armed with slender straight pric- 

 kles bent a little back at the top : branches 

 ...id, unarmed, shining, reddish : '.he leaflets

The fourth specie i l about I

 bark, and have no spines, except 

 immediately under the leaves, when 

 commonly placed'by pairs; they are sh 



thi leaflets 5< u. ovate, 

 (in (.heir under side : the lea\ es of tbc 

 narrow and entire: the flower siTiall, • 



i hke cinnamon, whcnci its name. But, 

 according to Parkinson, the sh 

 what red, yel nut so red as the double kind, 

 armed with great thorns, almost like the Eglan- 

 tine bush; thereby sh'owii • '1 by the 

 multiplicity of its shoots as the quiekne s and 

 hi ol its shooting, its wild nature: the 

 somewhat large, and of a pah: 

 red rolottr. It is a native ot the South of 

 Europe. 



There is a double variety, in which the shoots 

 are redder ; the flowers small, short, thick, and 

 double, of a pale red colour at the end of the 

 leaves (petals), somewhat redder and brighter 

 towards the middle. It is the smallest and ear- 

 liest of the double garden roses, flowering in 

 May. 



The fifth has round, glaucous, often maho- 

 gany-coloured stems ; with very long, th.ong- 

 like branches, bowing, with scattered, hooked 

 prickles, smaller than in the common Dog- 

 Rose: the leaflets live or seven, but mostly live, 

 ovate, pointed, smooth, simply serrate, glauccs- 

 cent underneath : the petioles prickly : pedun- 

 cles three or five in a terminating cyme, (rarely 

 solitary) mahogany-coloured, covered with a 

 ndular roughness, not all exactly from one 

 point, accompanied by a few lanceolate bractes, 

 and each bearing a single white flower, like the 

 common Dog- Rose, but never red or blush- 

 coloured, and less fragrant: fruit oblong; but 

 in ripening n becomes globose, and deep red : 

 the styles, as soon as they have passed through 

 the neck of the calyx, are compacted into a cy- 

 linder, resembling a single style, terminated by 

 a knob compo-. d of the stigmas, which distin- 

 guishes it from the other species. It is a native 

 of England. - v - 1 



The sixth species has been confounded with 

 what is commonly called the Scotch Rose ; and 

 some think it is not distinct from that. In the 

 garden plant, according to Pallas, there arc 

 larger and setaceous prickles intermixed, and 

 nine leaflets, the lower ones smaller. Theflowers 

 are white, and th( segments of the calyx ent
