 Rosa suaveolens Pursh. — Lindley rapporte cette forme à son R. rubiginosa. N'ayant pas vu d'échantillons authentiques de cette forme, je ne puis, comme pour le R. Lyonii, me prononcer sur son identité.

Mr. Pope, sen., [Luke] has travelled through the greater part of the United States, and has introduced a number of American plants. Among these is Rosa palustris, the flowers of which are double, and the leaves scented like those of the sweet briar. All the wild roses in America, Mr. Pope informed us, have scented leaves.

36. R. suaveolens. American Sweet-briar. Pursh n. 11. (“R. eglanteria americana; Andrews’s Roses, with a figure.”)—Fruit ovate. Flower-stalks, and prickly leafstalks, rough with glandular bristles. Stem smooth; its prickles long, slender, slightly curved. Leaflets roundishelliptical; downy above ; somewhat glandular beneath.— Native of North America. We received specimens from Pennsylvania, gathered by the Rev. Dr. Muhlenberg. Linnaeus cultivated this species at Upsal, and has preserved a branch, without name or description, in his herbarium. The plant differs from both the foregoing [Rosa rubiginosa and R. micrantha], in its long, slender, slightly curved, but by no means hooked, prickles, which often stand, two together, near, or close to, the base of the leaf stalks. The leaflets are of a broad roundish form; finely hairy above; loosely besprinkled with stalked glands, though not rusty, beneath. Flowers pink, small, often, but not always, folitary, nor are the segments of the calyx, as Mr. Pursh describes them, always simple or entire; some of them are pinnate. Fruit smooth, or somewhat prickly.

Rosa Eglanteria Americana.
American Eglantine Rose.
Specific character. Rose with nearly round seed-buds, hispid; peduncles and petioles hispidly glandular; stem shrubby, armed with small, straight, scattered spines; branches numerous; flowers terminate the branches singly; blossom semi-double, and of a deep flesh colour; leaves smooth, and scented: leaflets egg-shaped.
Native of North America.
 
This new species of Sweetbriar, we are informed, was introduced from North America, about the year 1801, by Mr. Pope, a nurseryman near Birmingham. The foliage is small, neat, and regular, but not so fragrant as the leaves of the common Eglantine. The flowers are abundant, and of a fine pinky colour whilst in perfection, but grow paler when going out of bloom; in which state its size enlarges just before the petals fall off. It is increased by seed and layers; but as it does not at present seed freely, nor are the layers rapid in forming a root, it will most probably continue for some time as a scarce rose. Our drawing was made in the month of June, from a luxuriant plant in the nursery of Mr. Williams, at Turnham Green.
