Rosa semperflorens pleno, or sanguinea is a celebrated rose, the foliage small, and of a reddish appearance. The flower is well shaped, and of a blood colour; wood of a slender growth, requires some protection in winter, or it will die to the surface of the ground; delights in sandy soil. This rose is frequently called anemone-flowered, although in no respects similar to the character of an anemone-flower. The Otaheite rose is of the same colour, but very inferior.
