Slender Rose.

Specific Character. Rose with nearly round seed-buds, and peduncles slightly hispid and slender; flowers of many petals, imbricated, equal, and flesh-coloured. Stems smooth and flexible; spines scattered.

This delicate Rose was raised about the year 1796 by Mr. Shailer, nurseryman, of Little Chelsea. It is as yet so little known, that a dwarf variety of the Province is frequently sold for it; a mistake most probably owing to its being common called amongst cultivators Shailer's Province Rose: but it certainly bears most resemblance to the Rosa Indica, and is, as far as we can understand, a hybrid production between the two species; and if so, it might come under the description of variety only. But, whilst nature produces such distinct and beautiful varieties, from the drooping of its branches and nodding of its flowers, whose close and numerous petals are too heavy for its weak and slender stem to support. It appears to be a Rose calculated to train against a trellis to great advantage. It is as hardy as most Roses, and is increased (but not easily) by layers. Flowers during the months of June and July.
