before us, our readers should have information. 
It is a curiosity, inasmuch as the flowers resemble 
the offspring ; but its leaves, unlike those of every 
other known Rose, are quite simple, like the com- 
mon Barberry. Plants of it were raised at Kew, 
in 1790, but they soon died, others again were 
raised in the Horticultural Society’s garden, in 
1829, most of which also died. Every variety of 
treatment was in vain tried with them. They 
spurned all; as if in grief for the absence of an 
eastern sun, they all pined and died away, except- 
ing two; which, we are informed, still continue 
without increase. Plants may be sometimes met 
with at nurseries, but chiefly seedlings. It will be 
recollected that a few seasons ago, it was exhibited 
at the London Horticultural Rooms, having been 
grafted on Fraser’s Noisette Rose. We are also 
told that it has succeeded perfectly on the continent, 
when worked on stocks of the Dog Rose. 
For the opportunity of figuring this interesting 
little Rose we are indebted to Mr. Cameron, of the 
Birmingham Garden, where it flowered, last sum- 
mer (1842), in much beauty, against the front of 
the greenhouse. It is there on its own stock, has 
not produced seed, is deciduous, and evidently 
ratlier tender. 
This Rose, grown on its own roots, proves to be 
rather difficult of management. Budded on the 
Dog Rose, Mr. Rivers says, it flourishes in any 
soil or situation. It should have a south wall, and 
well-drained rich soil ; and if in summer the points 
of the shoots become milldewed, they should be 
syringed, and sprinkled with flour of sulphur.
