leaflets oblong, sharp-pointed, and sawed; stem smooth; spines of
the branches are scattered, and opposite.

This Rose, so well known by the appellation of the Great Burnet-leaved,
is estimated as a variety of the Carolina; but in our opinion the
resemblance is not very powerful. Probably a more minute investigation
of some of the intermediate varieties at some future period may enable
us to throw some further light on the subject. It is a very shrubby and
rather dwarfish-growing plant, inclinable to spread; and although not
particularly attractive, is by no means deficient in beauty. It
continues a long time in successive bloom, and is possessed of a very
handsome double-flowered variety.
Our drawing was made from a plant at the nursery of Messrs. Colville.
