trained to a wall with a favourable exposure,
though never becoming very woody. The flowers
are large and handsome, either in a single or
double state ; and these, with the neatness of its
foliage, and the slenderness o f its stems and
branches, give it such an air of elegance, that no
lover o f plants should be without it, who has a
garden in which it will thrive. North of London
it requires a wall ; and in Scotland, as well as
ill France and Germany, it is generally kejit in
the green-house. A mode o f pruning plants of

in England, and is therefore only propagated by layers.
