 R. blanda, Brot. 1. c. Flowers from red to crimson, double or 

 semidouble. The flowers of the officinal rose have not the fra- 

 grance of the Dutch hundred-leaved rose, but the beautiful colour 

 of the petals, and their pleasant astringency, have rendered them 

 officinal. It must, however, be remarked, that their odour is 

 increased by drying, while that of the damask rose is almost de- 

 stroyed. Th'ey are kept dried for making gargles. The fol- 

 lowing are the names of the garden varieties of the French or 

 officinal rose.
