The twenty-firft fort is the double Cinnamon Rofe 5 , 
this is one of the (mailed flowers, and the earlieft of 
all the kinds. The (talks rife about four feet high, are 
covered with a purplifh fmooth bark, and have no 
fpines, but at the joints immediately under the 
leaves, where they are placed by pairs 3 they are 
ftiort and crooked. The leaves are compofed of 
three pair of oval lobes terminated by an odd one •, 
they are hairy on their under flde, and are (awed on 
their edges 3 the leaves of the empalernent of the 
flower are narrow and entire •, the flower is frnall, 
double, and has a fcent like Cinnamon, from whence 
it had the title of Cinnamon Rofe. 
The twenty-fecond fort is called the Mofs Provence 
Rofe, from the reiemblance which the flowers of this 
have to thofe of the common Provence Rofe, yet it is 
undoubtedly a diftinft fpecies 3 for although the (talks 
and (hoots of this are very like thole of the common, 
yet the plants are difficult to propagate, which the 
common fort is not. This very rarely fends up fuckers 
from the root, and when the branches are layed down, 
they are long before they put out roots, fo that this 
fort has been frequently propagated by budding it 
upon (docks of other forts of Rofes, but the plants fo 
railed are not fo durable as thofe which are propa- 
gated by layers. 
The (talks and branches of this fort are clofely armed 
with brown fpines 3 the foot-ftalks of the flowers and 
the empalernents are covered with long hair like 
Mofs 3 the flowers are of an elegant crimfon colour, 
and have a mod agreeable odour. 
Mod of the forts of Rofes are of foreign growth, and 
have been at various times introduced into the Eng- 
lifh gardens, but they are generally natives of northern 
countries, or grow upon the cold mountains in the 
warmer parts of Europe, lb they are very hardy in 
refpedl to cold, but love an open free air, efpecially 
the Yellow Rofe, the Audrian Rofe, and the Monthly 
Rofe. The two former will not flower in a warm 
foil and fltuation, nor near the fmoke of London, and 
the Monthly Role will flower much better in a free 
open air, than within the reach of the fmoke of 
London. 
The ufual time ' of thefe flirubs producing their 
flowers is from the middle, or latter end of May, till 
the middle of July. 
But in order to continue thefe beauties longer than 
they are naturally difpofed to lad, it is proper to plant 
fome of the Monthly Rofes near a warm wall, which 
•will occaflon their budding at lead three weeks or a 
month before thofe in the open air 3 and, if you give 
them the help of a giafs before them, it will bring 
their flowers much forwarder, efpecially where dung 
is placed to the back fide of the wall (as is praftifed 
in railing early fruits 3) by this method I have feen 
fair Rofes of this kind blown in February, and they 
may be brought much fooner againfi hot walls or in 
doves, where people are curious this way. 
You may alfo cut off the tops of fuch fhoots which 
have been produced the fame fpring early in May, from 
fome of thefe forts of Rofes which are planted in the 
open air, and upon a ftrong foil •, this will caufe them 
to make new fhoots, which will flower late in autumn, 
as will alfo the late removing the plants in fpring, pro- 
vided they do not differ by drought, as I have feveral 
times experienced 3 but particularly in the year 1718, 
when I had occaflon to remove a large parcel of 
thefe plants in May, jufc as they were beginning to 
flower 3 in doing of which I cut off all the flower- 
buds, and, after having opened a trench where they 
were to be planted, I poured a large quantity of wa- 
ter, fo as to render the ground like a pap 3 then I 
took up the plants, and placed them therein as foon 
as poffible, that their roots might not dry 3 and, af- 
ter planting them, I watered the ground well again, 
and covered the furface over with mulch to prevent 
the drying •, after this I repeated watering the plants 
all over two or three times a week, in the evening, 
until they had taken root. In three weeks or a month 
after, the plants (hot out again, and produced a 
great Quantity of flowers in Augud and September, 
which were as fair as thofe produced in June. The 
Monthly Rofe is the bed fort for this purpofe, there 
being no other fort which will flower both early and 
late fo well as this. 
The next fort of Rofe which flowers in the open air, 
is the Cinnamon, which is immediately fos lowed by 
the Damaik Rofe, then the Bluffi, York, and 
Lancafter come 3 after which, the Provence, Dutch, 
Hundred-leaved, ’White, and mod other forts or 
Rofes follow 3 and the lateft forts are the Virginia 
and Mufk Rofes, which, if planted in a fhady iitua- 
tion, feldom flower until September 3 and, if the au- 
tumn proves mild, will continue often till the mid- 
dle of O&ober. 
The plants of the two forts of Mu fit Rofes, fhould 
be placed againfi a wall, pale, or other build- 
ing, that their branches may be fupported, other- 
wile they are fo (lender and weak as to trail upon the 
ground. Thefe plants fhould not be pruned until 
fpring, becaufe their branches are fomewhat tender 3 
fo that when they are cut in winter, they often die 
after the knife 3 thefe produce their flowers at the 
extremity of the fame year’s (hoots in large bunches, 
fo that their branches mud not be (hastened in the 
dimmer, led thereby the flowers fhould be cut off. 
The (hrubs will grow to be ten or twelve feet high, 
and mud not be checked in their growth, if you in- 
tend they fhould flower well, fo that they fhould be 
placed where they may be allowed room. 
The lowed (hrub of all the forts here mentioned is 
the Scotch Role, which rarely grows above a foot 
high, fo that this mud be placed among other (hrubs 
of the fame growth, which fliould have a mold foil 
and a fhady fltuation. The Red Rofe, and the Rofa 
Mundi, commonly grow from three to four feet high, 
but feldom exceed that 3 but the Darnafk, Provence, 
and Frankfort Rofes grow to the height of feven or 
eight feet 3 fo that in planting them, great care fhould 
be taken to place their feveral kinds, according to 
their various growth, amongft other (hrubs, that they 
may appear beautiful to the eye. 
The Yellow Rofe, as alfo the Audrian Rofe, are both 
natives of America 3 thefe were originally brought 
from Canada by the French 3 the other varieties, 
which are now in the gardens, of thefe forts, have 
been accidentally obtained, and are prelerved by bud- 
ding them on the other forts. The (hrubs of thefe 
Rofes feldom (hoot fo drcng as mod of the other 
forts, efpecially in the light land near London, where 
they feldom produce their flowers. Thefe are edeemed 
for their colour, being very different from all the 
other forts of Rofes 3 but as their flowers have no 
fcent, and are of (hort duration, they do not merit 
the price they are generally (old at. 
The Frankfort Rofe is of little value, except for a 
dock to bud the more tender forts of Rofes upon, for 
the flowers feldom open fair, and have no fcent 3 but 
it being a vigorous (hooter, renders it proper for 
docks to bud the Yellow and Audrian Roles, which 
will render them dronger than upon their own docks 3 
but the Yellow Rofes feldom blow fair within eight 
or ten miles of London, though in the northern parts 
of Great-Britain they flower extremely well. T his 
fort mud have a northern expofure, for if it is planted 
too warm, it will not flower. 
The Damafk and Monthly Rofe feldom flower well in 
frnall confined gardens, nor in the fmoke of London, 
therefore are not proper to plant in fuch places, tho* 
they frequently grow very vigoroufly there. Thefe 
always begin to (hoot the fird of any of the forts in 
the fpring, therefore frequently differ from frods in 
April, which often dedroys all their flowers. 
All the forts of Rofes may be propagated either from 
fuckers, layers, or by budding them upon docks of 
other forts of Rofes 3 which latter method is only prac- 
tifed for fome peculiar forts, which do not grow very 
vigorous upon their own docks, and fend forth 
fuckers very fparingly, or where a perfon is willing 
to have more forts than one upon the fame plant 3
