ii I;
attenuated, toothed point, glandular, particularlyat the edges,
the inner surface downy, mostly simple, but occasionally furnished
with one or two pair of pinnæ.
A hybrid production, from the Noisette Rose, fertilized
by the pollen of the yellow China Rose, raised by Mr. W.
Smith, of Coombe Wood, to whom we are indebted for
the specimen whence our drawing was taken. It resembles
the former in many respects, but is of much more vigorous
growth, and the flowers much more copious, of a deeper
yellow, and disposed, like the Noisette Rose, in corymbs.
They are highly fragrant. This Rose is perfectly hardy, is
readily increased by cuttings, and may be regarded as a
most valuable addition to our already numerous list of China
Roses.
The rose is the emblem of youth and beauty ; in Latin,
Rosa; in Greek, poSov; and in Celtic, rhodd, or rhudd, all
signifying red, or referring to the prevailing colour in this
genus.
