put into it a Bud of the Double yellow Rofe , which 
growing, the Suckers mult be kept from the Root, 
and all the Buds rubbed off, except thofe of the 
Kind defired, which being grown big enough to 
bear (which will be in two Years) it mult in Win- 
ter be Prun'd very near, cutting off all the fmaU 
Shoots, and only leaving the biggeft, cutting oft 
the tops of them alfo, as far as they are fmall. 
XL VI. Note. 5. Then the next Spring, when the 
Buds for Leaves, come forth, rub off the fmallelt 
of them, leaving only fume few of the large!!, 
which by reafon of the Strength of the Stock, 
affords more nourilhment than any other : and by 
the agreeable Nature of the Single yellow Rfe, 
from whence it is immediately nourifhed, the 
Shoots will be ldrong and able to bear out the 
Flowers, (if they be not too many, which may be 
prevented bv nipping oft the fmallelt Buds for 
Flowers, leaving only fuch a number of the fail eft, 
ua the Bufh may he able to bring to perfection,) 
which fjulh fhould Hand fomething ihaded, and 
npt • too much in the heat of the Sun:, and in a 
Sciudjrt by it felf, rather than under a Wall.'

oca heed upon, are, 1. The Damask. 2. Theft Hoitc.

Crop, and to obtain every Year, a good ftore ol 
wav lair Rofes ■, when many times thofe which are 
Natural, may notwirbftanding all the helps of In- 
dultry, prove poor and mean or blafted. 
. XLIX. Note. 8. The parrs of the Rofe \ t felf, 
have alfo feveral particular Names, as, 1. Viburna, 
which are the Shoots of the Rofe Plants, as Strabo 
Gall, is, in. his Little Garden is pleas’d ro call them. 
i. . Alabapri, are.thofe parts of the Cup which are 
deeply cur, and which encompals the Flower clofe 
about before it is opened, which be in number five, 
two of which have Beards, and two have none, 
and the fitch has but half one. 3. C alix, or the 
Cup it felf, which conrains and holds in together 
the .yellow part, and the Leaves of the Flower. 
4. Ungws, or the Nails, which are thg lower 
whire pares of the Leaves of the Flowers, by 
which they are joined to the Cups. y. Anthos , in 
Shops Anther a , Flos Rofx , The Flower of the 
Rofe , c: the middle part thereof which they call 
the Chives , and fome (tho’ falfly) the Seeds of 
the Rofe. 6. Erutlm , Corallatum , the Hep or Fruit, 
which comes after the Rofe, and which being ripe 
is of a bright fnining Coral like color. 
L. The Qualities. Mefucs fays, that the Rofe 
is cold in the firtt Degree, and dry in the fecond. 
Both the White and Red are cooling and drying, 
but the White is taken to exceed the Red in both 
thefe Properties. Galen fays, the Red has a bitter 
and alfringent Qualiry with it j and that the An- 
thers or yellow Threads in the middle of the Rofe , 
do bind more than the Rofe it felf, and are more 
drying alfo. Alefues will have the Rofe to be com- 
pounded of divers parts or fubftances 4 viz. of a Wa- 
tery temperate Subftance -, of Earthy drying Parts -, 
and of a Volatile Aromatick Subfiance , which is 
hot, whence comes its Rednefs , Perfection and 
Form. The Bitternefs in the Rofes, viz. Damask •. 
and Musk, whiift they are frefh, jeaufes their Ca- 
thartick Quality , and makes them to purge both 
Cholerick and Watery Humors, which it does not 
appear that the Greeks knew any thing of * but 
being dry, that bitternefs vanilhes, and therewith 
their purging property, and then they have only 
an aftringent, binding or flopping Power. Thofe 
which are not full blown, do both cool and bind, 
more than thofe which are full blown, and the 
White more than the Red-, and the Red more than 
the Damask or Musk Kinds. Alfo the Musk Rofes 
both Single and Double , do Purge more powerfully 
than the Damask , and the Single are held to be 
ftronger than the Double , tho’ none of the Greeks 
have taken notice hereof-, but Mefues the Arabian 
only. And Camerarius fays, that 20 Leaves of the 
Single Musk Rofe , will open the Belly, and Purge 
the Body, but more are to be taken of the Double 
Kind, to do the fame. 
LI. The Specification. The White and Red , flop 
Fluxes of the Bowels, and Catarrhs, are Vulnera-

Reins, jBladder , and Womb, comfort the 
Head, Brain, and Nerves, and are good againft

cold and moiflure.
