416 The Garden of pleafant Flowers. 



12. Rofa Hungarica . The Hungarian Rofe. 



The Hungarian Role hath greene fhootes flenderly fet with prickes, and feldome 

 groweth higher then ordinarily the red Rofe doth ; the ftemme or ftocke being much 

 about that bignefTe : the flower or rofe is as great, thicke and double, as the ordinary 

 red Rofe, and of the fame fafhion, of a paler red colour, and beeing neerely looked 

 vpon is finely fpotted with faint fpots, as it were fpreade ouer the red ; the fmell wher- 

 of is fomewhat better then the fmell of the ordinary red Rofe of the bed kinde. 



13. Rofa HoloJ'erica Jimplex & multiplex. 

 The Veluet Rofe fingle and double. 



The old ftemme or flock of the veluet Rofe is couered with a dark coloured barke, 

 and the young fhootes of a fad greene with very few or no thornes at all vpon them : 

 the leaues are of a fadder greene colour then in mod forts of Rofes, and very often 

 feuen on a ftalke, many of the reft hauing but fiue : the Rofe is eyther fingle or double : 

 the fingle is a broade fpread flower, confifting of fiue or fixe broade leaues with many 

 yellow threds in the middle: the double hath two rowes of leaues, the one large, 

 which are outermoft, the other fmaller within, of a very deepe red crimfon colour 

 like vnto crimfon veluet, with many yellow threds alfo in the middle ; and yet for all 

 the double rowe of leaues, thefe Rofes ftand but like fmgle flowers : but there is ano- 

 ther double kinde that is more double then this laft, confifting oftentimes of fixteene 

 leaues or more in a flower, and moft of them of an equall bignefTe, of the colour of 

 the firft fingle rofe of this kinde, or fomewhat frefher ; but all of them of a fmaller 

 fent then the ordinary red Rofe. 



14. Rofa Jine fpinis Jimplex & multiplex. 

 The Rofe without thornes fingle and double. 



The Rofe without thornes hath diuers greene fmooth fhootes, rifing from the root, 

 without any pricke or thorne at all vpon them, eyther young or old : the leaues are not 

 fully fo large as of the red rofe : the flowers or rofes are not much bigger then thofe 

 of the double Cinamon Rofe, thicke fet together and fhort, of a pale red Rofe colour, 

 with diuers pale coloured veines through euery leafe of the flower, which hath caufed 

 fome to call it The marbled Rofe, and is of a fmall fent, not fully equall to the red 



!Rofe. The fingle of this kinde differeth not in any other thing from the former, then 

 in the doublenefTe or fingleneffe of the flowers, which in this are not halfe fo double, 

 nor yet fully fingle, and are of a paler red colour. 

 Rofa fiue fpitia I haue heard likewife of a white Rofe of this kinde, but I haue feene none fuch as yet, 

 flare albo. an( j therefore I can fay no more thereof. 



15. Rofa Cinamome a Jimplex & multiplex. 

 The Cinamon Rofe fingle and double. 



The fingle Cinamon Rofe hath his fhootes fomewhat red, yet not fo red as the dou- 

 ble kinde, armed with great thornes, like almoft vnto the Eglantine bufh, thereby 

 fhowing, as well by the multiplicitie of his fhootes, as the quicknefTe and height of his 

 fhooting, his wilde nature : On the ftemme and branches ftand winged leaues, fome- 

 times feuen or more together, which are fmall and greene, yet like vnto other Rofes. 

 The Rofes are fingle, of fiue leaues a peece, fomewhat large, and of a pale red colour, 

 like vnto the double kinde, which is in fhootes redder, and in all other things like vn- 

 to the fmgle, but bearing fmall, fhort, thicke and double Rofes, fomewhat like vnto 

 the Rofe without thornes, but a little lefTer, of a paler red colour at the end of the 

 leaues, and fomewhat redder and brighter toward the middle of them, with many 

 yellow fhort thrumes ; the fmall fent of Cinamon that is found in the flowers hath 

 caufed it to beare the name
