LIST of some Nezv Roses, raised by Mr Brown of New 



Scone. 

 (Referred to at p. 179.) 



The finest of the Double Scots Roses (or those from Rosa 

 spinosissima) having been fully described by Joseph Sabine, 

 Esq. Secretary of the Horticultural Society of London, in 

 the Transactions of that Society, vol. iv. it seems unneces- 

 sary to particularise them here. Mr Brown of Perth made 

 trial of the seeds of other kinds of garden roses, about the 

 year 1796, and procured several seedlings of great beauty, 

 particularly the following. 



Venus, a small double white, without prickles, perhaps the 

 finest rose yet produced in Britain, raised from seed of 

 the garden White Rose, (Rosa alba.) 

 Duchess, double blush, raised from the Maiden Blush.

 Victoria, dark and double, superior to the Tuscany. 

 Parson, do. do. equal to the Tuscany.

The above five raised from the double Velvet, R. Gallica.
