76 TREES AND SHRUBS | 

Rosa cinnamomea, Zinneus. CINNAMON ROsE. From Europe; with 
slender, scattered prickles, oval and coarsely-toothed leaves which are hoary 
and glandular beneath; flowers pale red, small, and somewhat cinnamon- 
scented, whence the popular name, 
Rosa lucida, Zirhart. DWARF WILD Rose. Separate styles included 
in the calyx and closing the mouth with their stigmas ; low bushy native, with 
weak nearly straight prickles and lance-shaped < or broader leaflets which are 
plainly toothed; calyx more bristly than the somewhat depressed fruit. Not 
a climber. 
Rosa multiflora, Zhunderg. MANY-FLOWERED RosE. From China 
and Japan. Common and hardy here; climber; leaflets soft and somewhat 
roughened; prickles scattered, slender; inodorous flowers in clusters, white, 
pale red, or red; styles united and projecting. 
Rosa rubiginosa, Zizmeus. SWEETBRIER. From Europe, but naturalized 
here by the wayside and in old gardens. Climber; prickles strong and hooked ; 
leaflets with brown glands on the under surface, small, double-toothed, and 
downy; pink flowers usually single; fruit pear-shaped. 
Rosa sempervirens, Zimneus. EVERGREEN Rose. From Europe, but 
neither hardy nor evergreen here; leaflets thick, bright green, oblong; prickles 
curved; flowers white; styles united and projecting from the calyx. The Ayr- 
shire Rose of the British gardens is given by Gray as a variety of this, and by 
Loudon as a variety of the European Field Rose (2. arvensis, Hudson). It 
is more hardy than the &. sempervirens. 
Rosa setigera, Michaux. CLIMBING ROSE, PRAIRIE Rose. A prickly, 
climbing native, with the united styles protruding from the calyx and as long

vigorous grower, with flowers from white to deep rose-color. 
* Rosa sulphurea, Aztoz. YELLOW Rose. From the Orient; young 
shoots without prickles; 5 to 7 obovate, slightly-toothed, smooth, pale leaflets ;

calyx neither becoming a fleshy tube or cup nor closing over the fruit; the

for medical use. It is widely distributed, and has many species.
