CLIMBING ORNAMENTAL SHRUBS. 165 



Established plants will grow thirty or forty feet in one season, 

 and yield flowers in clusters, of a brownish yellow colour 

 from May to July. 



I shall only add to the above, the running kinds of roses; 

 although there are many other things which might be men- 

 tioned. 



Rosa multiflora, from China, is pretty well known, pro- 

 ducing thousands of small double red roses in bunches. It 

 requires a sheltered situation from some of our keen north- 

 westers. Rosa mult'i.flora alba, from the same country, is of 

 late importation, but as it increases readily, may be ob- 

 tained at about the same price as the former; the bunches 

 of flowers are white. Rosa Grivellis, a running rose, also 

 from China, the flowers ofvarious colours. Rosa rubifolia, 

 Raspberry-leaved rose, from our Northern frontiers, and 

 extending over the Western country ; although a single 

 flowering rose, it produces large bunches of flowers, which 

 are differently coloured on the same bunch, exactly like the 

 former China kind, and is another instance of the similarity 

 of plants, natives of China, and our country. 



Rosa canina,fl. ple.no. English double dog rose, is a very 

 pretty little double rose, and will run to a great height. 

 Rosa Banksii, Lady Banks' double white China running 

 rose ; it runs up and spreads much it may be easily known 

 from others of the running roses, by its being entirely des- 

 titute of prickles. Rosa Noisette, and Champney's, are 

 said to have been raised from China seeds in Carolina 

 they are not strictly running roses, but as they grow up tall, 

 are fine ornaments for the shrubbery, flowering during the 

 whole of the Summer and Autumn, in large clusters. The 

 Maderia rose, or double white cluster, musk, flowers through- 

 out the Summer and Autumn months, and is therefore well 

 adapted for the shrubbery. Rosa Cherokensis, called the 

 nondescript, or Georgia rose the flowers are very large, 

 being white, with yellow centre. This is a running rose, 

 growing very high around trees, &c. 



Rosa rubiginosa, or Sweetbriar, is too well known to 

 need description.
