ROSA DEVONIENSIS. 
primrose yellow, with a pinkish-huff centre. Flowers exhibited at one of the 
meetings of the London Horticultural Society in Regent Street, were awarded the 
Banksian medal.” 
Like the yellow China and Noisette roses, “ it will succeed best if planted in a 
rich border, and trained against an eastern or western wall. It thus stood the 
severe winter of 1840-1841 uninjured. It is universally admitted to be the finest 
variety ever introduced, and we cannot speak too highly of it.” 
As to the aspect of the wall on which it should be trained, we may remark, that 
those above indicated are not indispensable ; for it will thrive well against a south 
or south-western wall ; and might, no doubt, be advantageously fastened to a 
single pole in a sheltered locality. This class of roses requires very little pruning, 
and their young shoots ought always to be allowed to remain disengaged from the 
wall through the summer, since the flowers invariably appear at the extremities of 
the branches.
