28 FLOWERING AND ORNAMENTAL SHRUBS. 



the same country, is of late importation, but as it in- 

 creases readily, may be obtained at about the same 

 price as the former ; the bunches of flowers are white. 

 Rosa Grivellis, a running rose also from China, the 

 flowers of various colours. Rosa rubifolia, Raspberry 

 leaved rose, from our northern frontiers, and extend- 

 ing over the western country; although a single 

 flowering rose, it produces large bunches of flowers, 

 which are differently coloured on the same bunch, 

 exactly like the former China kind, and is another 

 instance of the similarity of plants, natives of China 

 and our country. 



Rosa canina fl. pleno. English double dog rose, 

 is a very pretty little double rose, and will run to a 

 great height. Rosa Banksii, Lady Banks' double 

 white China running rose. It runs up, and spreads 

 much — it may be easily known from others of the 

 running roses, by its being entirely destitute of 

 prickles. Rosa Noisette, and Champney's, are said to 

 have been raised from China seeds in Carolina — they 

 are not strictly running roses, but as they grow up 

 tall, are fine ornaments for the shrubbery, flowering 

 during the whole of the summer and fall, in large 

 clusters. The Madeira rose, or double white cluster, 

 musk — It also flowers all through the summer and fall 

 months, and is therefore well adapted for the shrub- 

 bery. Rosa Cherokensis, called the nondescript, or 

 Georgia rose — the flowers are very large and white, 

 the centre yellow. This is a running rose, growing 

 very high around trees, &c. 



Rosa rubiginosa, or Sweet briar, is too well known 

 to need description.
