The firft Sort of Rofe grows wild 

 in the Hedges in moft Parts of Eng- 

 land : the Fruit of this Tree is made 

 into a Conferve for medicinal Ufe ; 

 but this is feldom cultivated in Gar- 

 dens. 



The fecond, third, and fourth 

 Sorts alfo grow wild in divers Parts 

 of England ; and are rarely preferved 

 in Gardens, untefs for Variety-fake. 



The third Sort is a very tall- 

 growing Shrub, having ftrong up- 

 right Shoots ; the Flowers are fingle, 

 and of a bright -red Colour; the 

 Fruit is very large, and is by fome 

 Perfons made into a Sweet-meat ; fo 

 the Plant is cultivated in many Gar- 

 dens on that account. 



The fourth Sort is of humble 

 Growth, feldom rifing much above 

 three Feet high ; the Leaves are like 

 thofe of Burnet ; the Flowers are 

 white, fingle, and have a mufky 

 Scent. 



The fifth Sort is a Variety of the 

 fourth, and is preferved by fome for 

 the Beauty of its flriped Leaves. 



The fixth Sort is found wild in 

 Scotland, and has been by many fup- 

 pofed to be the fame as the fourth 

 Sort, but only differing, therefrom in 

 having variegated Flowers; which 

 is a great Miftake ; for I have ob- 

 ferv'd, where the two Sorts were 

 cultivated on the fame Soil for many 

 Years, and yet retain'd a confider- 

 able Difference in the Size of the 

 Plants, the Scotch Sort being not half 

 fo large as the other; yet the Flow- 

 ers were much larger, the Leaves 

 were lefs, and the Branches much 

 weaker, than thofe of the fourth 

 Sort. 



The lafl Sort here mention'd was 

 rais'd from the Seeds of the Scotch 

 Rofe ; and altho' the Flowers were 

 plain-colourM, yet the whole Ap- 

 pearance of the Plant cominues the 

 fame as the original Kind; which is 

 a plain Proof of its being different 

 from the fourth Sort. 



The Sweet-briar, altl-io' wild in 

 fome Parts of England, yet is pre- 

 ferv'd in moll curious Gardens, for 

 the extreme Sweemefs of its Leaves,
