From the uxurious manner in which the Romans lived in this country for many ages, and from their habit of wearing wreaths of roses at their banquets, it is more than probable that they introduced many kinds of their own roses into the gardens which they formed in this island.  The principal variety of the Provence rose are the Common, Scarlet, Blush, White, Rose de Meaux, Pompone, Rose de Rheims, Childing’s Blandford, Rose of St. Francis, Shailer’s...

ROSAE nanae (varietates majores).
Dwarf Roses (large varieties).

SPECIFIC CHARACTER. Roses with nearly round seed-buds; peduncles and footstalks hispid and prickly; leaflets oblong, pointed, with finely serrulated edges; blossoms of the one semi-double, and the other crowded with petals; prickles of the branches scattered: stem shrubby.

These Roses are considered as the finest and largest varieties of the dwarf species. The semi-double Rose was imported from France, we think, in the spring of 1823 to the Hammersmith Nursery under the appellation of Pompone Rose of Four Seasons, where it flowered during the summer and late in autumn; but whether the season was mild enough to allow the support of its title further, we do not recollect : the other Rose has abundance of bloom completely double, but flowers only during the summer months, and is commonly denominated Rose St. Francis, or large Rose de Meaux.
