Rose with nearly round seed-buds, and peduncles hispid and
glandular: flowers of a deep flesh-colour, and very sweet-scented:
leaflets egg-shaped, pointed, sawed, and villose beneath.

This Rose is one of the most abundant, and, from being extremely common,
is perhaps best known, but the least valued. Yet, if fragrance and
beauty were instead of scarcity to fix a price, very few would be
deserving of a higher sum.
We have sometimes seen this fine Rose, in well cultivated luxuriant
plants, acquire the height of nearly fifteen feet, adorning the front of
a house in a most elegant manner during the summer months.
