ROSE, with round seed-buds, and hispid peduncles; the leaflets are
of an ovate form, sharp-pointed, sawed, and smooth; the thorns of
the branches are opposite, straight, and red.

This handsome Single Rose is supposed to be one of the varieties of the
Carolina, and for that reason, we believe, called the Pennsylvanian
Rose, and perfectly well known under that title; although we think the
plant bears very little affinity to the Carolina Rose, and is perhaps
nearer allied to the Austrian than any other. It certainly bears a
considerable resemblance to the Burnet-leaved variety of the Carolina;
but has much more of the character of a brier attached to it, and is
generally estimated as the most desirable variety.
It is in fine bloom from the middle of June to the end of August. There
is a delicate variety of it with double flowers.
Our figure was made from the nursery of Messrs. Colville.
