Poire de Rose, Ib Pom. Mag. 



Rosenbirne, Kraft, Pom. Aust. 

 Vol. i. p. 38. t. 84. 



Fruit below the middle size, round, depressed, about 

 two inches deep, arid two inches and a quarter in diame- 

 ter. Eye open, placed in a shallow depression. Stalk an 

 inch long, slender, inserted in a small roundish cavity. 

 Skin inclining to yellow, speckled with russet ; but of 

 a bright rich red, intermingled with brown spots on the 

 sunny side. Flesh white, juicy, rich, and sugary. 



Ripe the middle and end of August. 



This succeeds equally well on the Pear and the Quince. 



The figure of the Summer Rose is that of an Apple 

 rather than that of a Pear ; and M. Noisette remarks, 

 that it is so in a greater degree than any Pear he knows. 

 It is a most excellent and beautiful variety, and bears 

 well on an open standard.
