against a wall. It is easily known from R. multiflora by the fringed 

 edge of the stipules; while those of the common R. multiflora (fig. 

 621. a) have much less fringe, and the leaves are smaller, with the 

 leaflets much less rugose. The form of the blossoms and corymbs is 

 pretty nearly the same in both. A rapid-growing variety, producing 

 shoots 18 ft. to 20ft. long in a season, flowering profusely for two or 

 three months, but only of three or four years duration. 

 I R. wz. 3 Boursaulti Hort., Boursaulfs Rose, is placed, in Don's Miller, 

 under this species ; though it differs more from the preceding variety 

 than many species do from each other. It is comparatively a hard- 

 wooded durable rose, and valuable for flowering early and freely 

 This is a very remarkable rose, from its petals having a reticulated 

 appearance. 



The species is very distinct, and produces numerous blossoms, which con- 

 tinue expanding for two months. The first variety, when well grown against a 

 wall, forms one of the most beautiful of wall roses. This variety and the 

 species may be considered as rather tender, but they will not thrive under 

 glass.
