PBAIRIE EOSE, OR WESTEEN MULTIFLORA. 



vel setigera. 



Rosa rubifolis, 



This vigorous native, erroneously named "Miciiigan Rose," is dis- 

 seminated over thousands of miles of our mighty western prairies, and 

 may, in many respects, be deemed a national emblem. lis very robust 

 and hardy character adapt it even to a Canadian climiate. The foliage 

 is peculiar, and the flowers expand in immediate sequence to the general 

 flowering of other classes in June. They are produced in profuse clus- 

 ters or corymbs, many are very changeable, and all remarkably attrac- 

 tive. They are climbers of most rapid growth,. often attaining 12 to 2Q 

 feet in a season, and the seminal hybrid varieties which will be produced, 

 and which will, without doubt, combine perpetual Jlowering varieties, 

 must take precedence over all others, and form a new era in the depart- 

 ment of climbers, as they will flourish without care in every region of 

 our country, and perhaps of the world. Th.e following varieties all have 

 double flowers of cupped form, except those designated otherwise.
