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. 

 It 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 flowers are also larger: the petals have 

 deep indentures at their points; are of a pale yellow on the outside, 

 and of a reddish copper colour, orange-scarlet, or Barre colour 

 within ; are single, have no scent, or a disagreeable one, and soon 

 fall away. It has sometimes flowers entirely yellow on one branch, 

 and copper-coloured on another. 



The second species differs from the preceding, not only in the 

 doubleness of the flowers, but in having the leaflets simply serrate, 

 not glandular, pubescent and glaucous underneath; whereas in that 

 they are doubly serrate, glandular and glutinous, and of a shining 

 green colour, the stipules lacerated; the fruits hemispherical and 

 glandular, which in the other are subglobular and smooth : the 

 prickles on the stem are of two sorts in this; a few being larger, and 

 many smaller. It is a native of the Levant, flowering later than 

 that, as in July. 



The third has the stems, when full grown, unarmed; the younger 

 ones, or those of the first year, are armed with slender straight pric- 

 kles bent a little back at the top: branches round, unarmed, shin-
