dinary red rofe, yet exceeding it. This rofe is not fo plentifull in bearing as the 

 damaske Prouince. 



7. Rofa Prouincialis alba. The white Prouince Rofe. 



It is faid of diuers, that there is a white Prouince Rofe, whereof I am not oculatus 

 tejiis, and therefore I dare not giue it you for a certaintie, and indeed I haue fome doubt, 

 that it is the greater and more double white rofe, whereof I gaue you the knowledge 

 in the beginning : when I am my felfe better fatisfied, I mail bee ready to fatisfie others. 



8. Rofa verjicolor. The party coloured Rofe, 



of fome Yorke and Lancafter. 



This Rofe in the forme and order of the growing, is neereft vnto the ordinary 

 damaske rofe, both for ftemme, branch, leafe and flower : the difference confifting in 

 this, that the flower (being of the fame largenefle and doubleneffe as the damask rofe) 

 hath the one halfe of it, fometimes of a pale whitifh colour, and the other halfe, of a 

 paler damaske colour then the ordinary ; this happeneth fo many times, and fometimes 

 alfo the flower hath diuers ftripes, and markes in it, as one leafe white, or ftriped with 

 white, and the other halfe blufh, or ftriped with blufh, fometimes alfo all ftriped, or 

 fpotted ouer, and other times little or no ftripes or markes at all, as nature lifteth to 

 play with varieties, in this as in other flowers : yet this I haue obferued, that the lon- 

 ger it abideth blowen open in the fun, the paler and the fewer ftripes, markes or fpots 

 will be feene in it : the fmell whereof is of a weake damaske rofe fent. 



9. Rofea Chryjlallina. The Chryftall Rofe. 



This Rofe is very like vnto the laft defcribed, both for ftocke, branch and leafe : 

 the flower hereof is not much different from it, being no great large or double Rofe, 

 but of a meane fize, ftriped and marked with a deeper blufh or red, vpon the pale co- 

 loured leafe, that it feemeth in the marking and beauty thereof, to bee of as much de- 

 light as the Chryftall Gilloflower : this, euen like the former, foone fadeth and pafleth 

 away, not yeelding any great ftore of flowers any yeare. 



10. Rofa rubra humilis fiue pumilio. 

 The dwarfe red Rofe, or Gilloflower Rofe. 



This Rofe groweth alwayes low and fmall, otherwife in moft ref peels like vnto the 

 ordinary redde Rofe, and with few or no thornes vpon it : the Flowers or Rofes are 

 double, thicke, fmall and clofe, not fo much fpread open as the ordinary red, but 

 fomewhat like vnto the firft double white Rofe before exprefled ; yet in fome places 

 I haue feene them more layde open then thefe, as they grew in my garden, being fo e- 

 uen at the toppes of the leaues, as if they had been dipt off with a paire of fheeres, 

 and are not fully of fo red a colour as the red Prouince Rofe, and of as fmall or weak 

 fent as the ordinary red Rofe, or not fo much. 



1 1 . Rofa Francafur ten/is . The Franckford Rofe. 



The young fhootes of this Rofe are couered with a pale purplim barke, fet with a 

 number of fmall prickes like haires, and the elder haue but very few thornes : the 

 flower or rofe it felfe hath a very great bud or button vnder it, more then in any other 

 rofe, and is thicke and double as a red rofe, but fo ftrongly fwelling in the bud, that ma- 

 ny of them breake before they can be full blowen, and then they are of a pale red rofe 

 colour, that is, betweene a red and a damaske, with a very thicke broade and hard vm- 

 bone of mort yellow threds or thrumes in the middle, the huske of the flower hauing 

 long ends, which are called the beards of the rofe, which in all other are iagged in 

 fome of them, in this hath no iagge at all : the fmell is neereft vnto a red Rofe.
