July. S. Eu., X. Afr. B.R. 465. W.R. 5. Var. pros- 

 trata, Nichols. (R. prostraia, Lindl.). Lfts. smaller, 

 oval, acute: fr. ovoid. Yar. scandens, Nichols. (R. 

 scdndens, Mill.). Lfts. oblong or oval, obtuse: fr. sub- 

 globose. There are some double-fld. garden forms, 

 probably hybrids with R. chinensis and other roses. 

 Less hardy than the following. 



10. arvensis, Huds. (R. repens, Scop. R. sUvestris, 

 Herrm.). Deciduous shrub, with sarmentose or creep- 

 ing sts.: Ifts. usually 7, ovate to ovate-elliptic, acute, 

 serrate, dull above, glabrous or slightly pubescent 

 beneath, rather thin, Yr-\^A in. long: fls. in few-fld. 

 corymbs, sometimes solitary, white, scentless, 1 J^-2 in. 

 across; style glabrous: fr. ovoid. June, July. Eu. 

 B.M. 2054. Gn. 60, p. 233; 77, p. 510. W.R. 3 A 

 hybrid with R. chinensis is R. ruga, Lindl., a trailing 

 shrub with large, fragrant double pink fls. in several- 

 fld. corymbs: Ifts. ovate, glabrous. B.R. 1389. W.R. 

 17. Another hybrid is R. Pottiniana, Spreng. (R. 

 arvensis x R. gattica). Upright or sarmentose: Ifts. 

 usually o, large, of firmer texture: fls. long-stalked, large, 

 white to purple. W.R. 111. Here belongs probably the 

 AYRSHIRE ROSE (R. arrensis var. capreolaia, Neill.), 

 with double white to deep pink fls. G.W. 1, p. 355. 



Section 3. IXDIC.E. Few Asiatic specie* with upright or 

 procumbent sts^.: prickles scattered, hooked, few: Ifts. 

 3-6 rarely 7: infl. 1- to many-fld.; sepals entire or the 

 outer ones sparingly pinnate, reflexed after flowering; 

 bracts and stipules narrow, the latter with small, 

 dirergent auricles. 



A. Sts. with uniform prickles: Its. glabrous. 



B. Lrs. persistent or subpersistent. 



c. Fls. white, yellowish or light pink, 



very fragrant: fr. globose or 



depressed-globose; sepals usually 



entire: stipules without or with 



few marginal glands at the 



auricles 11. odorata 



cc. Fls. red or pink, rarely whitish, 

 not or slightly fragrant: fr. moid 

 or pyriform ; sepals usually pin- 

 nate: stipules glandular-ciliate . 12. chinensis 

 BB. Lrs. deciduous: fls. many in a 



corymb 13. Noisettiana 



AA. Sts. with prickles and bristles: Ins. 

 slightly pubescent beneath: fls. soli- 

 tary or few 14. borbonica

Rehd.). TEA ROSE. Shrub with long sarmentose 

 often climbing branches armed with scattered hooked 

 prickles: Ivs. evergreen or half-evergreen; Ifts. 5-7, 

 elliptic or ovate to oblong-ovate, acute or acuminate, 

 sharply serrate, lustrous above, glabrous, 1-3 in. long; 

 stipules glandular-ciliate usually only above the middle, 



3439. Baltimore Belle rose. Rosa setigera 



No. 4. 



3440. Rosa Wichuraiana (XM). No. 8. 



often sparingly: fls. solitary or 2-3, on rather short, 

 often glandular stalks, white, light pink or salmon. 

 pink, or yellowish, 2-3}^ in. across; sepals entire: fr. 

 globose or depressed-globose, red. W. China. Red. 

 Ros. 1:19 (3:25, 19). B.R. 804. The original TEA 

 ROSE with double blush fls. was intro. into England in 

 1810 and in 1824 the form with pale yellow double fls., 

 var. ochroleuca, Rehd. (R. indica var. ochroleuca, 

 Lindl.). Red. Ros. (3 :25, 20). From the crossing of the 

 forms of this species between themselves and also with 

 R. chinensis the Tea roses of our gardens have originated, 

 while the Hybrid Teas are the offspring of crosses 

 between the Tea roses and other garden roses. Var. 

 pseud-indica, Rehd. (R. chinensis var. pseud-indica, 

 Willmott. R. Fortuniana, Paxt., not Lindl.). FOR- 

 TUKE'S DOUBLE YELLOW. BEAUTY OF GLAZEXWOOD. 

 GOLD OF OPHIR. Branches sarmentose, with strongly 

 hooked prickles: Ifts. 5-7, elliptic-oblong, firm: fls. 3-4, 

 double, salmon-vellow, sweet-scented, outside tinged 

 with red. B.M. 4679. F.S. 8:769. W.R. 28. Var. 

 erubescens, Rehd. & Wilson, has single blush or pale 

 pink fls. and is probably like the following one of the 

 wild forms of the double-fld. garden varieties. R. 

 chinensis var. grandiflora, Willmott (W.R. 29) is 

 scarcely different. Var. gigantea, Rehd. & Wilson (R. 

 gigantea, Collett & Hemsl.). Fls. creamy white, 

 single, 4-6 in. across; pedicels and receptacles smooth. 

 Very vigorous, climbing to 50 ft. S. W. China, Burma. 

 G.C. III. 6:13; 37:136; 51:314. Gn. 67, p. 179; 71, p. 

 67. B.M. 7972. W.R.34. To this variety R.macrocdrpa, 

 Watt (R. xanthocdrpa, Watt) from Manipur, has been 

 referred as a synonym, but the author maintains that 

 it is a distinct species and that it has yellow fls. and 

 edible yellow frs. as large as a small apple. R. odorata 

 gigantea is hardy only S. and is cult, in Calif., where it 

 blooms from Nov. to May. Hybrids with R. moschata 

 have been raised by Franceschi at Santa Barbara, 

 Calif. ; these are Madeleine Lemoine, Montarioso, and 

 Montecito and they combine the vigor and the foliage 

 of var. gigantea with the paniculate infl. of R. moschata. 

 Other hybrids with different garden roses have been 

 raised in Eu.
