SPECIFIC CHARACTER. Roses with roundish seed-buds, and peduncles slightly hispid; flowers of the one are red, and of the other of a pale flesh-colour: leaves smooth: petioles prickly: leaflets oblong, with sawed edges: stem green, smooth, with red thorns at the base.
Our drawing was made from plants in the Nursery of Mr. Knight, who first raised them in the year 1816 by importations received from a Bengal vessel, and called them Rosa Bengalensis rubra et alba. They are, however, only seminal varieties from the Common China Rose. Their period of inflorescence is mostly during the summer and autumnal months; and when occasionally flowering under the influence of a cold atmosphere, the pale variety acquires such an accession of colour, that it appears a very different Rose from what it is when the sun's rays so far extract its colour, that it requires to be looked at in the shade to ascertain whether it is a white or a pale blush colour.

Les fleurs sont semi-doubles, non véritablement blanches; mais les pétales, quand ils commencent à s'épanouir, sont mêlés de blanc et de rose, et même dans leur parfait développement, quoique devenus plus pâles, ils consevent toujours çà et là une légère teinte de rose.
