ROSE, with egg-shaped seed-buds; empalements, peduncles, and
petioles glandulously viscous; leaflets egg-shaped, softly haired

This charming Striped Variety is another acquisition to the Mossy tribe,
and, we think, of equal value with the White; and though very distinct
in its character from that plant, it yet betrays a powerful affinity in
many particulars, so as to leave but little doubt of its origin being
nearly the same. In flower it approaches nearest to the York and
Lancaster Rose, which in size and colour it much resembles.
This is likewise the production of Mr. Shailler, who propagated it at
the same time as the White variety, and is equally scarce; principally
owing to its being treated with too little care before it was
sufficiently established. We have no doubt, however, that in time it
will be equally as hardy as any other.
