Rosa hawrana belongs to the same group as Rosa spinulifolia 
Dematra and Rosa vestita Godet. It is nearly allied to Rosa pomifera 
H errm., from which it differs by its small, firm, simply-toothed leaf- 
lets, glabrous on the upper surface. Its flowers are beautiful in colour 
and in form, and, when it is better known, this Rose is sure to become 
popular in gardens. It was discovered on Mount Hawra, not far from 
Schemnitz in Hungary, by Pastor Kmet, whose intelligent research 
in the north-west mountainous region of Hungary has led to the intro- 
duction of so many interesting forms. The plant from which the 
drawing was made is growing at Warley, where it flowers freely and 
bears fruit.
