—A beautiful variety, with much larger and more double flowers,

o f a purplish colour. No climbing rose better deserves cultivation
a«ainst a wall. It is easily known from R. multiflòra by the fringed
edge of the stipules ; while those of the common R. multiflora (^ g .
621. a) have much less fringe, and the leaves are smaller, with th.e
leaflets much less rugose. The form of the blossoms and corymbs is
pretty nearly the same in both. A rapid-growing variety, producing
shoots 18 ft. to 20 ft. long in a season, flowering profusely tor two or
three months, but only of three or four years duration. ^
t II m 3 Boursaùìtì Hort., Boursaulfs Rose, is placed, iii Don s MMer,
under this species ; though it differs more from the preceding variety
than many siiecies do from each other. It. is comparatively a hard-
wooded durable rose, and valuable for flowering early and^ freely
This is a very remarkable rose, from its petals having a reticulated
appearance.
The species is very distinct, and produces numerous blossoms, which continue
exbinding for two months. The first variety, when w d l grown ag aiftt a
wall, forms one of the most beautiful of wall roses. This vanety and the
species may be considered as rather tender, but they will not thrive under
glass.
