This fine yellow Rose is a native of the Levant, and not to be met with in flower in any of the nursery-grounds very near London. We have not seen it even in a budding state nearer than Brentford, in the collection of the Duke of Northumberland at Sion House, whence our drawing was begun last year from a fine plant with numerous buds, not one of which expanded sufficiently perfect for us to represent. To complete our figure, we this year received some fine specimens communicated by the Hon. W. Irby, collected from a gentleman’s garden in the neighbourhood of Farnham, a distance of between twenty and thirty miles, and we believe the nearest approximation to the metropolis in which it can be found in perfect bloom. Even in the most congenial situations it is subject to an irregularity of inflorescence, from the extreme complexity of its petals, occasionally bursting at the sides, and destroying the symmetry of its appearance. We have never seen it lighter in colour than we have represented, certainly much too deep a yellow to exemplify the pallid hue of sulphur. It flowers in the month of June, and was introduced to this country in the year 1629. [Illustration] ROSA Cinnamomea, _multiplex_. _Double Cinnamon Rose._ CHARACTER SPECIFICUS. Rosa germinibus globosis, glabris, et saturatè purpureis: floribus petalis confertis: pedunculis glabris, ad basin bracteâ magnâ instructis: foliis saturatè viridibus, rugosis, subtùs glaucis: petiolis aculeatis: caule aculeato, cum spinis sparsis geminis. Habitat in Europâ Meridionali. SPECIFIC CHARACTER. Rose with round seed-buds, smooth, and of a dark purple colour: flowers with crowded petals: footstalks smooth, and furnished at the base with a large bract or floral leaf: leaves of a deep green, and wrinkled, glaucous on the under side: footstalks prickly: stem prickly, with scattered spines in pairs. Native of the South of Europe. * * * * * The odour of Cinnamon, which this early blooming Rose is supposed to possess, has furnished it with a specific title by which it is well known. It is a very old species, and said to have been introduced from the south of Europe as long ago as the year 1569. Like all those roses whose flowers are very double, the petals are subject to be disorganised by the prevalence of easterly winds, to which its early bloom is liable. It is only increased by layers, as the abundance of the petals absorbing all the stamina precludes the fruit’s increase.
