torth yellow rofes, fuch as the flourc was from whence they were taken • which they would not’d© 
by any coniedhirall reafon,if that of themfelues they were not a naturall kind of rofe. Laftlv it were

Euery feed and plantbringeth forth fruit likevnto it felfe, both in fhape and nature ■ but lea' 
tung that errour,! will proceed to the defeription : the yellow rofe hath browne and prickly folks 
or fhoots,nue or iix cubits high, garnilhed with many leaues,like vnto the Muske rofe, of an excel

imellofhis floures (as fomehaue deemed) which haue little or no fauour at all : the floures’be ex- 
ceeding double, and yellow in the middle, of a pale red colour, and fometimes of a carnation : the 
root is ofa wooddiefub fiance.
