believe no better model for a Eose exists; the wood is stout 
and thorny, and the foliage large and ample, and the plant has 
the merit of being a good autumnal bloomer. This descrip¬ 
tion is taken from flowers obligingly forwarded to us by Mr. 
Ward in July last, and we think it only fair to add, that his 
rose-ground is extremely unfavourable to the growth of the 
Eose, the soil being light and stony, and the situation very dry 
and parched, and that if flowers such as we saw were produced 
from it, we may reasonably expect that when grown in favoured 
soils and situations it will prove still more beautiful.
