SPECIFIC CHARACTER.
Rose with nearly round seed-buds, and peduncles hispid and glandular: leaflets egg-shaped, sawed at the edges, and villous beneath: flowers of a fine red colour, and sweet-scented: stem low: the prickles of the branches are scattered.
This Province Rose, of humble stature, is very sweetly scented. The flowers are rather small, but very compact, and of a fine colour. We have observed it for three successive summers, and have not perceived any very material alteration in its character: but such is the latitude in growth of this fine tribe, that it would not be possible to prescribe exact bounds to the size, or limits to the height, of some luxuriant plants in a rich congenial soil; and if under such circumstances this Rose should be found to exceed our present delineation of it, there is little doubt but amongst all the other varieties it would still be found (comparatively) a dwarf plant.
