XXVI. ROSA CEE: ROSA. 343 
2 R. i. 10 riga Lindl. Bot. Reg. t. 1389., 
and our fig. 612., has double, blush chang- 
ging to white, sweet-scented flowers. It 
is a hybrid between R. i. odoratissima 
and &. arvénsis, brought from Italy, 
where it was raised by Mr. Clare. It 
grows freely, making shoots 10 or 12 
feet long in a season. 
& R.i. 11 ockhroleica Bot. Reg. has large 
cream-coloured flowers, deepening almost 
into yellow in the centre. It was intro- 
duced by Mr. Parks in 1824, and appears 
to have been since lost. 
& R. 2. 12 flavéscens. — This, Mr. Gordon 
assures us, is the true tea-scented yellow China Rose, and not the 
preceding variety, which is generally considered as such, and con- 
founded with it. 
& R.i. 13 Blatrii D. Don in Swt. Brit. 
Fi. Gard. t. 405., and our fig. 613. 
—Raised in 1830, by Mr. Blair, from 
seeds of the yellow China rose, which 
had been fecundated by the pollen of 
the Tuscan rose. A robust plant, 
remarkable for the size of its leaves 
and flowers. Petals purple, but yellow 
at the base, especially towards the 
centre of the flower. Fragrant, and a 
free flowerer.
