foliage, and terminal and axillary many-flowered clusters of pure 

 white, delicately fragrant flowers \\ inches in diameter and borne on 

 short, erect branchlets. It is a plant which will be prized by persons 

 who realize that among the wild roses are some of the most beautiful 

 of all flowering plants and who find a place for them in their 

 gardens." (Arnold Arboretum Bulletin of Popular Information, 

 new ser., vol. 1, p. 39, 1915.) 



42980. Rosa jackh Rehder. 



" This beautiful rose was introduced into the arboretum from 

 Korea several years ago by Mr. Jack, and when it flowered was 

 named for him. At about the same time it was named in England 

 Rosa bakeri and R. kelleri, names which can not be used for it, 

 however, as they had previously been given to other roses. It is 

 one of the Multi-flora roses with long stems which lie flat on the 

 ground, lustrous foliage, and pure white flowers 2 inches or more 

 in diameter, in wide many-flowered clusters. The flowers are 

 larger than those of the Japanese R. multi flora, and it blooms much 

 later than that species. This rose is perfectly hardy and a first- 

 rate garden plant. The hybridizer ought to be able to find in it 

 a good subject from which to raise a race of hardy, late-flowering 

 rambler roses." (Arnold Arboretum Bulletin of Popular Informa- 

 tion, new ser., vol. 1, p. J$, 1915.) 



42981. Rosa mtxlttflora cathayensis Rehd. and Wils. 



"Rosa multiflora, var. cathayensis; it is a hardy, vigorous, and 

 handsome plant with the habit of the Japanese R. multiflora. The 

 flowers are from 2 to 2£ inches in diameter and are produced in 

 large, many-flowered clusters, and the large, conspicuous, bright- 

 yellow anthers add to the beauty of the clear pink petals. This 

 rose may well become a popular garden plant. It offers possibili- 

 ties which the hybridist will undoubtedly take advantage of; and 

 it is of considerable historical interest as the wild original of garden 

 plants cultivated probably for centuries by the Chinese and known 

 in Europe and America for more than a hundred years." (Arnold 

 Arboretum Bulletin of Popular Information, new ser., vol. 1, p. 35, 

 1915.) ' 



42982. Rosa sweginzowii Koehne. 



A rose from western Szechwan, with deep rose-colored flowers, 

 growing to a height of 5 meters, at altitudes of 2,300 to 3,600 meters. 

 The shoots are thickly covered with short, stout, flattened prickles.
