This Rose is one of the most abundant, and, from being extremely common, is perhaps best known, but the least valued. Yet, if fragrance and beauty were instead of scarcity to fix a price, very few would be deserving of a higher sum. We have sometimes seen this fine Rose, in well cultivated luxuriant plants, acquire the height of nearly fifteen feet, adorning the front of a house in a most elegant manner during the summer months. [Illustration] Rosa Provincialis, _nana_. _Dwarf Province Rose._ CHARACTER SPECIFICUS. Rosa germinibus sub-globosis, pedunculisque hispidis et glandulosis: foliolis ovatis, margine serratis, subtus villosis: floribus læte rubris, odoratis: caulis humilis, aculeis ramorum sparsis. SPECIFIC CHARACTER. Rose with nearly round seed-buds, and peduncles hispid and glandular: leaflets egg-shaped, sawed at the edges, and villous beneath: flowers of a fine red colour, and sweet-scented: stem low: the prickles of the branches are scattered. * * * * * This Province Rose, of humble stature, is very sweetly scented. The flowers are rather small, but very compact, and of a fine colour. We have observed it for three successive summers, and have not perceived any very material alteration in its character: but such is the latitude in growth of this fine tribe, that it would not be possible to prescribe exact bounds to the size, or limits to the height, of some luxuriant plants in a rich congenial soil; and if under such circumstances this Rose should be found to exceed our present delineation of it, there is little doubt but amongst all the other varieties it would still be found (comparatively) a dwarf plant. [Illustration] ROSA alba. _White Rose._ CHARACTER SPECIFICUS. Rosa germinibus ovatis, glabris: pedunculis hispidis: floribus albis: foliolis ovatis, acutis, ad margines serratis, subtus leviter tomentosis: caulis erecto-patens, superne sub-glaber, ad basin aculeis rigidis instructus. SPECIFIC CHARACTER. Rose with smooth egg-shaped seed-buds and hispid peduncles: flowers white: leaflets ovate and pointed, with serrated margins, slightly downy on the under side: stem between erect and spreading, nearly smooth on the upper part, but furnished with strong spines towards the base. * * * * * This Rose is a native of Britain, and considered as the first on the list of Garden Roses removed from the common Hedge or Dog Rose, its charming wild original. The flowers are very fugitive, so soon falling off that a specimen in fine bloom is not easily procured. It is the source of several fine varieties, and flowers during the summer months, but is in very few collections.
