This very distinct variety, or perhaps species, o f rose
is probably at present wanting in British collections ; for
it must not be confounded with .ffòsa suavèolens or
with Ròsa suavifòlia, both described in Le Botaniste Cul-
fivateur as varieties o f R. rubiginòsa, or synonymes to that species.

Spec. Char., Sfc. Stipules linear, divaricate,
dilated at the apex. Leaflets glaucous, flattish.
Tube hemispherical. (Doris M d l.) Stem
prickles unequal, scattered A deciduous
shrub. Levant. Height 4 ft. to 10 it. In troduced
before 16-29. Flowers fine transparent
yellow, double ; July.
This sort does not flower freely, except in
open airy situations ; and, if trained i^ainst a
wall, exposed to the north or east rather than
to the south. Its flower buds are apt to burst
on one side before they expand, and coiise-
niientlv to become deformed ; to prevent this,
the blossom buds should be thinned, and care
taken that they have abundance of light and air
Watering it freely in the flowering season is tonnil
advantageous ; and the shoots, in general, ougiit
not to ^be shortened. This beautiful species suiphùrea.
