Roses
This elegant Rose is said to be a native of Switzerland, and sent from
thence by Dr. Messear, about the year 1803, to the gardens of Isaac
Swainson, esq. at Twickenham; whence our figure was taken. It is not, we
believe, at present in any other collection in this kingdom. It has so
perfect an air of novelty, that amongst the numerous Roses daily ycleped
new, this is one of the very very few to which a separate and distinct
character may justly be applied. Flowers during the months of June and
July, is of rapid growth, and forms a tall and bushy shrub.
