Rosa sine spinis...
Rosa sine spinis. Many stalks growing from root to reach sometimes man-high, smooth & without prickles, green, branched: having three or five along the rib (which is somewhat rough), always two opposing each other, the terminal impair quite large, dark green glossy above, whitish below: blooms on the terminal branches, having oblong hirsute peduncles, multiple petals of firm texture, larger than Praenestina [gallica], a medium colour between these and red, agreeable fragrance, short fat fruit circularly winged, reddish when mature, uneven seeds, contained in down: hard roots, mostly woody, and equally propagating with laterally under soil.
This I have received from Dr. Johannes Schröter senior, Primas of the University of Jena in Thuringia, doctor to the illustrious Duke of Saxony, Landgraf of Thuringia & Prince of Coburg and Weimar, who obtained it from the Prince Earl of Mansfeld and courteously sent it to me in Vienna in 1576. Blooms in June.
