Roses. VI. Vol. IV. No. 74., ROSES., The ever-blowing Rose. (Rosa semperflorens.), The native country of this fweet kind of Roses is China, from whence it was brought to Englandbat fewyears ago. Being therefore not yet accuftomed to our much rougher climate it cannot support the winter in open air, and onlv thrives in pots, vvhen carefully kept in rooms or hot houfes. The bufh never exceeds the height of two or three feet. Stalks and leaves are very tender, and the branches füll with little red thorns. The threelobed leaves very osten are not pennated. The dark coloured species is almost quite fingle, but the pale or light coloured is a fine double flovver. The flower-leaves of the first fort are crifp and of a dark rubin-colour, but those of the pale kind are fmooth and of a pale pink-colour. Both species are of a différent but very fweet and aromatick fmell. This fine flower continues blowing, winter and fummer, whence its name is derived. It also bears fruit sometimes.
