ROSA LAEVIGATA 
hardy in the south of England and in Essex, and produces long, 
vigorous shoots with handsome trifoliate leaves, which seem to give 
every promise of flowers, but they very seldom appear. It flowers 
sparsely at Abbotsbury and a few places along the south coast, but 
it is in Savoy and on the Riviera that this beautiful Rose is seen in 
perfection, and there the profusion of pure white flowers with their 
glowing yellow anthers and long trails of dark glistening foliage form 
pictures which for beauty cannot be surpassed.
