BLACK ROSEBERRY. 



Black Roseberry. Hort. Soc. Fruit Cat. p. 53, no. 7. 



This is a singular fruit in its appearance, and 

 peculiar in its character and flavour. It is culti- 

 vated in the Garden of the Horticultural Society, 

 but has not been described before. It was received 

 there from the Garden of John Williams, Esq. of 

 Pitmaston, under the name of the Black Round- 

 fruited Roseberry, having been raised from the 

 Common Roseberry impregnated by the pollen of 

 the Early Pitmaston Black, from which it derives 

 the remarkable dark colour of its skin. 



May be cultivated in any good garden soil well 

 exposed to the sun. 



It is a tolerable bearer, ripening about the 

 middle of the season of the Scarlets, to which 

 class it belongs. 



Leaves dark green. Footstalks of moderate 

 length, slightly hairy. Leaflets middle-sized, 

 roundish, with obtuse and wide serratures, the 

 upper surface hairy. 



Scapes short, with long and numerous spreading 

 peduncles.
