350 The Rose Garden. 



The fifth group, CINNAMONEA, has like the last the main prickles in pairs at the base of the 

 leaves, but the fruit is bright red and naked like that of an ordinary Dog Rose. The type of 

 the group is R. cinnamonea (L.), the Cinnamon Rose (see Fig. 67), which extends all through 

 the northern regions of the Old World. It has slender brown pruinose branches, slender 

 uniform stipular prickles, grey pubescent leaflets, with simple teeth, broad adnate stipules, 

 large bracts, short naked peduncles, pale red petals, spreading simple leaf-pointed sepals, and 

 small bright red globose fruit, crowned by the persistent sepals. Nearly allied to this are the 

 common wild Roses of the United States, R. Carolina, humilis, nitida, and lucida; of these 

 the most commonly cultivated is lucida, 'which has shining leaves and bright red flouers. 

 Another near ally is R. pisocarpa (A. Gray), a native of California and Oregon, figured Bot. 

 Mag., p. 6857, which has globose red fruit a third or half an inch in diameter. This was intro- 

 duced into English Gardens a few years ago by Prof. Sergent. Other near allies are the 

 Oriental R. anserinoefolia (Boiss.) and R. beggeriana (Schrenck), which have flowers not more 

 than half the size of those of cinnamonea, and fruit not larger than a pea. The Himalayan 

 R. microphylla (Roxb.) is a most distinct rose (see Bot. Mag., p. 6548). It has stipular prickles

like those of R. cinnamonea, no setae, very numerous small leaflets, large pink flowers, a 

 depresso-globose bristly fruit a couple of inches in diameter, with very thick flesh and few 

 basilar ovules. In the fruit and ovules it is completely different from any other Rose, so much 

 so that it has been proposed to make for it a distinct genus. The Himalayan R. sericea has 

 large deltoid stipular prickles, copious setae, shining coriaceous leaves, and white flowers with 

 only four petals. For the Japanese R. rugosa (Thunb.) Lindley proposed to make a distinct 

 section which he called Feroces. It has stipular prickles, copious straight aciculi and setae, 

 downy branches, large usually bright red flowers, deciduous leaves with 5 to 9 rugose leaflets, 

 sepals usually simple and leaf -pointed, and globose bright red fruit. It extends from Japan 

 into Continental Asia, R. kamschatica (ferox) (see Fig. 68) and Regeliana, being merely 

 varieties of rugosa, and R. Iwara of Siebold a probable hybrid between rugosa and multiflora. 

 The next group is the PIMPINELLIFOLI^!, which are erect shrubs with adnate stipules and 

 slender scattered prickles passing gradually into usually copious aciculi. The type of the 

 group is the Scotch Rose R. pimpinellifolia (Linn.) (see Fig. 69), of which R. spinosissima, L.
