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

 edge of the stipules ; while those of the common R. multiflora (}?g. 

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

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

 t R. m. 3 Boursaidt'y Hort., Boursault's Rose, is placed, in Don's Mdlcr, 

 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.
