The Carolina Rose. 
Rosa Carolina, Pursch, Flor. Amer., p. 345. — Icosandria Polygynia, Linn . — 
Rosacea, Juss. 
This beautiful species, which attains a height of five or six feet, is gene- 
rally characterized by its globose germens, which, with the peduncles, are 
more or less hispid ; its hairy petioles, slightly curved prickles, and oblongo- 
lanceolate, acute, serrated leaflets, which are glaucous beneath. It varies 
greatly, however, like many other species of the same genus.
