The double Eglantine is in all the places that I haue feeneit a grafted Rofe, (burl 
doubt not, but that his originali was naturali, and that it may be made naturali againe, 
as diuers other Rofes are.) It groweth and fpreadeth very well, and with a gt cat head 
of branches, whereon Hand fuch likeleaues as are in the Angle kinde, but a little larger, 
notfmelling fully fo fweete as it : the flowers are fomewhat bigger then the Angle, but 
not much, hauingbutoncotherroweof leaues onely more then the former, which 
are fmailer, and the outer leaues larger, but of the fame pale reddifh purple colour, 
and fmdleth fomewhat better then the Angle. 
This Rofe or bufh is very like vnto a wilde Angle Eglantine bufli in many refpedts, 
hauing many very longgreeftebranchcs, but more {lender and weake, fo that many

the branches as other Rofes doe , but abide thereon for the moll part all the Winter :

Some ofthefe Rofes had their originali, as is thought in England , as the 
firftandfecond; for thefedryed red Rofes that come ouerto vs from be- 
yond the Seas, are not of the kinde of our red Rofe , as may well be percei- 
ucd by them that will compare our Engliftidryed leaues with thofe. Some 
in Germany, S paine, and Italy. Some againe in Turkie , as the doubleyel- 
low Rofe, which Arfi was procured to be brought into England, by Mafler 
Nicholas Lete, aworthy MerchantofLondon , and a greatlouerof flow- 
ers, from Conftantinople , which (as wee heaie) was Arft brought thither 
queuille, a Merchant alfo of L ondon,and a great louer of all rare plants, as 
The Cinamon Rofe is the earliefl forthe moil part,which flowreth with 
VS about the middle of May , and fomet imes in the beginn ing. The ordinary 
Muskc Rofes both Angle and double flower latcft, as is faid. All the other 
flower much about one time, in the beginning of Iune, or thereabouts, and 
continue flowring all thatmoncth, and the next throughout for the mod
