The Rose, so much prized by every nation on 
earth, has a name in every language less dissimilar 
from each other than, perhaps, any other flower. 
The Celtic, Greek, and Latin rhos, rhodon, rosa, 
form the base on which the name in many modern 
languages has risen. They all have a manifest re- 
ference to a red colour. Our very word red is also 
from the same root. 
The beautiful double yellow Rose, which we now 
have the pleasure to introduce to our readers, was 
raised from seed of the single yellow Austrian Rose, 
about the year 1826, by J. Williams, Esq. of Pit- 
maston, near Worcester. It flowers much more 
freely than the old variety, and is a most valuable 
addition to our gardens. 
The Austrian Rose, although single, does not pro- 
duce seed unless its flowers be fertilized by the pol- 
len of some other species. This, it is highly desi- 
rable, every person possessing it should attend to, 
and endeavour to raise seedling plants, by which 
means many varieties of the yellow Rose may ulti- 
• mately be obtained. 
This Rose requires no peculiarity of culture.
