ROSES THAT BLOOM IN JUNE. 35 



charlatans who make their market in strange places, 

 where they never intend to appear again under the 

 same. name. This rose has travelled from east to 

 west as the Double Yellow Provins, Double Yel- 

 low Moss, &c. The foliage is small, of a pale yel- 

 lowish-green, the wood rather slender and weak, 

 studded with small thorns; the branches spreading. 

 There is a large plant of it that has been in the gar- 

 den of the late Henry Pratt, Esq., near this city, for 

 perhaps thirty years, and has never been known to 

 produce a perfect flower. It is said that the gardens 

 of Florence, Leghorn, and other parts of Tuscany, 

 produce this rose in perfection, which proves that 

 it requires a dry rich soil and an even temperature 

 to bring it to perfection. The New Double Yellow, 

 Williams' Double Yellow, and New Double Yel- 

 low Sweet Brier, is only a half double rose, of a 

 very pale sulphur colour, about an inch and a half 

 in diameter ; a profuse bloomer, and of rather weak 

 growth. It is said to have been grown from the 

 Yellow Austrian, although I think it is more likely 

 from a Scotch rose impregnated with that variety. 

 It produces seed freely, and its capsule has more 

 of the appearance of the Scotch than the Austrian 

 Rose.
