Journal of a Horticultural Tour through some parts of Flanders, Holland, and the North of France, in the Autumn of 1817

List of some New Roses, raised by Mr. Brown of New Scone.
(Referred to at p.179.)
The finest of the Double Scots Roses (or those from Rosa spinosissima) having been fully described by Joseph Sabine, Esq. Secretary of the Horticultural Society of London, in the Transactions of that Society, vol. iv, it seems unnecessary to particularise them here. Mr. Brown of Perth made trial of the seeds of other kinds of garden roses, about the year 1796, and procured several seedlings of great beauty, particularly the following.
Blush-tree Burnet leaved, double, raised from the single Burnet-leaved, with shining or glossy leaves, and red berries.
(1823)  Page(s) 149-150.  
 
But we now learned, that the rose-gardens of Noordwyck are distinguished for their extent chiefly, and not for the number of varieties of rose-tree cultivated. The great object of the cultivators is the collecting of the petals of the flowers, to be used in perfumery and in medicine. A profuse bloom of roses is therefore much more desirable to them than fine colours or regular shapes. In point of fact, only three or four kinds are in general cultivation. These are chiefly varieties of two of the species of rose-tree above mentioned: One variety, which we call the Dutch Hundred-leaved Rose, is regarded as belonging to the Rosa Gallica; another is our common Cabbage-rose, a third what we style the Dutch Provins, and these last are considered, by Mr Lindley, as having sprung from R. centifolia. A friend who visited the place has informed us, that the flowers are sent annually in great quantities to Amsterdam, and that they are thence exported even to Constantinople, where they are used by the Turks for making rose-water.
