ROSÆ Eglanteriæ muscosæ.
Mossy Eglantine Roses.

Specific Character. Rose with egg-shaped seed-buds; peduncles hispid and glandular; the leaflets oblong, sweet-scented, with numerous glands on the edges; petals prickly; stem beset with whitish thorns. The other Rose has flowers frequently monstrous, with very crowded petals; footstalks hispid and glandular; leaflets egg-shaped, sweet-scented, with numerous prickly petioles. Stem beset with numerous red thorns.

These Eglantine Roses are rather delicate plants, and difficult to preserve. The palest coloured is known by the appellation of Manning's Sweetbriar, being first raised by a gardener of that name. It is also by some called the Mossy Sweetbriar.
The other plant is called the Double Mossy Sweetbriar, and we have never seen it in any other collection but that of Messrs. Whitley and Brames, whence our figure was taken in 1810, and where we have often seen it flower with semidouble and monstrous flowers crowded with petals on the same branch : a strange character in blossoms, not easily accounted for.
By whom, or in what manner, it was originally raised, we have not been able to learn, but have been told it first made its appearance about fifty miles from London.
