low threads in themiddle : andthedouble bearing more double-flowers, as it they 
were once or twice more double then the fingle, with yellow thrummes’alfo in the 
middle, both of them of a very fweete and pleating fmell, rfc(?ittbling Musket Tome

The double white Damaskc Muske Rofe. 
This other kindc of Muske Rofe (which with Tome is called the white Damaskc 
Muske, but more truely the double white Cinamon Rofe) hath his demme and bran- 
ches alfo (horter then the former, but as greene : the leaues are fomewhat larger and 
of a whiter greene colour ; the flowers alfo arc fomewhat larger then the former dou- 
ble kinde, but danding in vmbels after the fame manner, or fomewhat thicker , and of 
the fame whitifh colour, or a little whiter, and fomewhat, although but a little’ , neare 
the fmell of the other, but nothing fo drong. This flowreth at the time of other Ro- 
fes, or fomewhat later, yet much before the former two forts of Muske Rofes, which 
flower not vntill the end of Summer, and in Autumne 5 both which things, that is the 
time of the flowring , and the fent being both different , (hew plainly it cannot be of 
the tribe of Muske Rofes. 
20. Reft Hifptnic* Mofcbtt* [implex. The Spanifh Muske Rofe. 
This Spanifh Roferifeth to the height ofthe Eglantine, and fometimes higher, with 
diuers great greene branches, theleaues whereof are larger and greener then of the 
farmer kindest the flowers are fingle Rofes, confiding of fiue whiter leaues then in 
any of rhe former Muske Rofes, and much larger, hauing fometimes an eye of a blufh 
in the white, of a very fweetc fmell, comtning neared vntothc lad recited Muske 
Rofe, as alfo for the time ofthe flowring. 
2 1 . Rofa Tomfcra mtier.The great Apple R ofe. 
The demme or docke of this Rofe is great, couered with a darke gray i(h barke bur 
the younger branches arc fomewhat reddilh, armed here and there with great and 
(harpe thornes, but nothing fo great or plentifull as in the Eglantine , although it be a 
wildc kinde : the leaues are of a whirilh greene colour, almod like vnto the fird white 
Rofe, and fiue alwaiesfet together, but feldomefeucn : the flowers are fmall and fin- 
gle, confiding of fiue leaues, without any fent , orverylktle,andlittlebiggerthea 
thofe ofthe Eglantine bufit, and of the very fame deepe blulli colour , euery one dan- 
ding vpon a rough or prickly button, bearded in the manner of other Rofes, which 
when the flowers are fallen growe great, fomewhat long and round, pearc-fafliion 
bearingthe beards on thetopsofthem ; and being full ripe are very red, keeping the 
fmall prickles dill on them, wherein are many white, hard, and roundiih feedcs , Very 
like vnto the feede of the Heppes or Eglantine berries, lying in a foft pulpe, like vnto 
the Hawthorne berries or Hawes : the whole beauty of this plant confideth more in 
the gracefull afpedt of the red apples or fruit hanging vpon the bufiies, then in the 
flowers, or any other thing. It feemeth to be the fame that Clufius callet h Ref a Pumila 
but that with meitgroweth muchhigherand greater then he faith his doth.

The fingle Eglantine or fweete Briar bufii. 
The fweete Briar or Eglantine Rofe is fo well knowne, being not onely planted in 
Gardens , for the fweeteneffe ofthe leaues , but growing wilde in many woods and 
hedges, that I thinke it lod time to deferibe it; for that all know it hath exceeding long- 
greene (hootes, armed with the cradled (harpe and drong thornes , and thicker fee
