de Meaux, an old inhabitant o f the gardens;
the mossy de Meaux, the dwarf, and small Provence; the rose
de Rheims; and the common and proliferous pompone. These
roses should be cut down every year, when they have done flowering,
th a t they may send up new shoots every spring to produce flower's.
If this be not done, the principal branches will dry up, and become
bare like those of the bramble.
This species is distinguished from ri. damascèna by the sepals not being
reflexed, and the flowers having their petals curved inwards, so as, in the
double state, to give the flower the appearance o f the heart o f a cabbage,
whence the name o f the cabbage rose. Its fruit is either oblong or roundish,
but never elongated. From R. gàllica it is distinguished by the flowers being
drooping, and by the larger size of the prickles, with a more robust habit.

striped rose, introduced by
Mr. Rogers of Southampton,
probably belongs to this
species. Besides these, there
are numerous distinct varieties,
which will be found
described in our first edition.
The petals of some of the va- 686. fi. R. pav v iilò n .
rieties of this rose are used in
medicine, particularly of tha t called officinal ; which,
though not so fragrant as those o f the Dutch hundredleaved
rose, another variety, are preferred for their
beautiful colour and their pleasant astringency.
Í vi. Villostv.
Derivation. From villastis, villous ; in allusion to tho hairiuoss of th e species.
Sect. Char. Siii culi erect. Prickles straightish. Leaflets ovfte or oblong,
with diverging serratures. Sepals connivent, permanent. Disk thickened,
dosino- th e throat. — This division borders equally close upon those of
Caninle and Rubigiiiòste. From both it is distinguished by its root-suckers
beino- erect and stout. The most absolute marks of difference, however,
between this and Canlnm, exist in the prickles of the present section being
straight, and the sen-atures o f the leaves diverging. If, as is sometimes tlm
case, the prickles o f this tribe are falcate, the serratures become more di-
verffing. The permanent sepals are another character by which this tribe
may be ’known from Caninm, Rubigiiiòsse cannot be confounded with the
present section, on account of th e unequal hooked prickles, and gland-uiar
leaves of the species. Roughness o f fruit and permanence of sepals are
common to both. {Doris MUL, ii. p. 576.) Deciduous shruhs, mostly
