ing, reddish : the leaflets commonly seven, oblong, sharply and al- 

 most equally serrate, smooth: the petioles smooth, generally armed 

 with one or two spinules. It is a native of Newfoundland and 

 Hudson's Bay, flowering from May to August. 



The fourth species rises about four feet high : the branches are 

 covered wilh a purplish smooth bark, and have no spines, except at 

 the joints immediately under the leaves, where they are commonly 

 placed by pairs ; they are short and crooked : the leaflets seven, 

 ovate, serrate, hairy on their under side: the leaves of the calyx nar- 

 row- and entire: the flower small, with a scent like cinnamon, whence 

 its name. But, according to Parkinson, the shoots are somewhat 

 red, yet not so red as the double kind, armed with great thorns, 

 almost like the Eglantine bush; thereby showing, as well by the 

 multiplicity of its shoots as the quickness and height of its shooting, 

 its wild nature : the roses are single, somewhat large, and of a pale 

 red colour. It is a native of 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 earliest of the double garden roses, 

 flowering in May. 



The fifth has round, glaucous, often mahogany-coloured stems; 

 with very long, thong-like branches, bowing, with scattered, hooked 

 prickles, smaller than in the common Dog-Rose: the leaflets five or 

 seven, but mostly five, ovate, pointed, smooth, simply serrate, glau- 

 cescent underneath : the petioles prickly : peduncles three or five in 

 a terminating cyme, (rarely solitary) mahogany-coloured, covered 

 with a glandular roughness, not all exactly from one point, accom- 

 panied 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 it becomes globose, 

 and deep red : the styles, as soon as they have passed, through the 

 neck of the calyx, are compacted into a cylinder, resembling a single 

 style, terminated by a knob composed of the stigmas, which distin- 

 guishes it from the other species. It is a native of England, c.
