ROSE, with nearly round seed-buds, flesh-coloured; the peduncles
and petioles are hispid and glandular; the prickles of the branches
are scattered, and straight; the leaflets are egg-shaped, and
villose beneath.

Of all the numerous variations in the Province Rose, this is the most
delicate variety; and as a well-known and much-admired (although only a
slight) variety of the Red, it is highly deserving of a separate
figure.--This specimen represents the most general character of the
Blush Province. As we have two florescent varieties of this pale
delicate character, from the same species, whose slight distinctions
have no doubt lent their aid to swell the train of superfluous
novelty,--the Author is in hopes, by the observations he has already
made on the variations of the same Rose by different modes of culture,
joined with the further inspection he shall be enabled to make in the
course of the ensuing summer, that it will be in his power to ascertain
with accuracy the difference between the mere florescent varieties of
growth, and those actually distinct in their character, independent of
that circumstance.
