Rosa Indica alba.
White China Rose.

Specific Character. Rose with roundish seed-buds, peduncles hispid, and furnished with fringed floral-leaves; flowers single; leaves winged; leaflets oblong, pointed, smooth, with serrulated margins; footstalks prickly; stems flexuose.

This Rose was raised at the Nursery of Mr. Knight, King's Road, Chelsea, in the summer of 1825, from seed of the R. lucida, or Macartney Rose; but bears no other resemblance to its origin than in the bracts or spathes, often deciduous. The small flower beneath is from a plant of one year's growth, differing only in the size of the flowers, and without bract or spathe.
