ROSA parviflora, Provincialis.
Small-flowered Province or Blandford Rose.

Specific Character. Rose, with small flowers, and nearly round seed-buds : the footstalks are glandular; the stem and petioles prickly ; the spines of the branches are scattered, straight, and slightly reflexed ; the leaflets egg-shaped, villous or hairy beneath, with glandular margins.

The Kingston, or Blandford Rose as it is most generally called, was introduced by Mr. Kingston, nurseryman at  Blandford near Dorset, in the year 1791. In its character it has every thing in common with the Province Rose, with a specifically distinct small flower (whence our name); which contrasted with the largeness of its leaves, gives a singularity to its appearance. In its blossom it approaches nearest to the Roses of Burgundy and de Meaux; in shape like the former, but in colour more resembling the latter: but no affinity whatever to the leaves of either. It is certainly a very desirable Rose, as the number of those with very small flowers is very circumscribed, and therefore renders every addition particularly valuable. Like most of the Roses, it continues to bloom during the months of June, July, and August, and makes a handsome bushy appearance.
Our drawing was made from a fine plant in the nursery of Messrs. Whitley and Brames, Old Brompton.
