dinary red rofe, yet exceeding it. This role is not fo pleatifblTin bearing as the 
damaske Prouince. 
7. Reft Frtu'mulis tlba. The white Prouince Rofe. 
Itisfaidof diucrs, that there is a white Prouince Rofe, whereof I am not ecultsm 
tefis, and therfore I dare not giue it you for a certaintie,and indeed I haue fome doubt 
that it is the greater and more double white rofe, whereof I gaiie you the knowledge 
in the beginning: when I ana my felfe better fatisfied,I Hull bee ready to fatisfie others, 
8. Reft ycrficelor. The party coloured Rofe, 
of fome YorkeandLancafter. 
This Rofe in the forme and order of the growing, is neereft vat® the ordinary 
damaske rofe, both for Rename, branch, leafe and flower : the difference confiding in 
this, that the flower ("being of the fame largenefTeand doublenefle as the damask rofe) 
hath the onehalfeof it,fometimesof a pale whitifii colour, and the other ha! fe of a 
paler damaske colour then the ordinary ; this bappeneth fo many times, and fome’times 
alfo the flower hath diuers ftripes,and markes in it, as one leafe white, or driped with 
white, and the other halfcbluih, or driped with blufh, fometimes alfo all driped or 
fpotted oner, and other times little or no dripes or markes at all, as nature lideth to 
play with varieties,in this as in other flowers : yet this I haueobferued, that the lon- 
ger it abideth blowen open in the fun, the paler and the fewer dripes, markes or fpots 
will be feene in it : the fmell whereof is of a wcake damaskerofe fent. 
9. Refet Ckryflttlins. The Chryftall Rofe. 
This Rofe is very like vnto the lad deferibed, both forftocke, branch and leafe: 
the flower hereof is not much different from it, being nogreatlargc ordoubleRofe 
but of a meanefize, driped and marked with a deeper blulh or red, vpon the pale co- 
loured leafe, that it feemeth in the marking and beauty thereof, to bee of as much de- 
light as the Chrydall Gilloflower : this,euen like the former, foonefadeth and paffcth 
away, not yeclding any great ftore of flowers any yeare.

The dwarfe red Rofe, or Gilloflower Rofe. 
Th is Rofe groweth al wayes low and fmalI,otherwifc in mod refpeffs like vnto the 
ordinary reddc Rofe, and with few or no thornes vpon it : the Flowers orRofcsarc 
double, thicke, fmall and clofc, not fo much fpread open as the ordinary red but 
fomewhat like vnto the fird double white Rofe before expreffed • yetin fome places 
I haue feene them more layde open then thefe, as they grew in my garden, being fo c- 
,uen ar the toppes of theleaues, as if they had been dipt off with a paireof fheexes 
and are not fully of fo red a colour as the red Prouince Rofe, and of as fmall or weak 
fent as the ordinary red Rofe, or not fo much.

The young fhootes of thisRofcarecouered withapalepurplilhbarke, fetwitha 
number of fmall prickeslikehaires, and the elder haue but very few thornes : the 
flower or rofe it felfe hatha very great bud or button vnder it, more then in any other 
rofe, and is thicke and double as a red rofe, but fo Arongly fwelling in the bud, that ma- 
ny of them breake bcforcthey can be full blowen, and then they are of a pale red rofe 
colour, that is,betweene a red and a damaske, with a very thicke broadeand hard vm- 
bone of fiiort yellow threds or thrumes in the middle, the huske of the flower hauing 
long ends, which are called the beards of therofe, which inallotherare tagged in 
fome of them, in this hath no iagge at all : the finell is necred vnto a red Rofe.
