  stony

  clayey

  The

  is 
  very 
  

   hot 
  and

  A 
  

   wild 
  rose 
  found 
  in 
  gullies 
  and 
  at 
  the 
  bases 
  of 
  rocky 
  hills. 
  A 
  very 
  strong 
  grower. 
  

   May 
  serve 
  as 
  a 
  stock 
  for 
  fine 
  varieties 
  of 
  roses 
  in 
  mild-wintered 
  regions, 
  where 
  the 
  

   summers

  hot 
  and 
  dry."

  as 
  the 
  preceding 
  

   number 
  (S. 
  P. 
  I.

  growing 
  in 
  abundance 
  in

  few 
  

   spines. 
  May 
  be 
  of 
  use 
  in 
  hybridizing

  very 
  bushy

  fields. 
  May 
  be 
  

   of 
  value 
  as 
  an 
  ornamental 
  shrub 
  in 
  regions 
  where
