SPECIFIC CHARACTER.
Rose with nearly round seed-buds: peduncles and petioles hispidly glandular: leaves winged: leaflets ovate, pointed, and villose beneath: flowers semi-double, flesh-coloured, and large.
This fine semi-double Rose is known amongst cultivators by the appellation of Royal or Queen’s Province, and considered as an excellent forcing Rose, and much esteemed by those nurserymen who with the assistance of the hot-stove bring flowers into a premature state of inflorescence. Like all the other Province species, its natural period of blooming is during the months of June and July.
