The Blush Provence Rose, in which the stalks rise from three to four feet high, and are unarmed: the leaves are hairy on their under side: the peduncles have some small spines: the segments of the calyx are semi-pinnate: the corolla has five or six rows of petals, which are large, and spread open; they are of a pale blush colour, and have a musky scent.

The Single and Double Velvet Rose, which, according to Parkinson, has the old stem covered with a dark-coloured bark, but the young shoots of a sad green, with few or no thorns: the leaves are of a sadder green than in most roses, and very often seven on a stalk: the flower is single: or double with two rows of petals, the outer larger, of a deep red like crimson velvet; or more double, with sixteen petals or more in a flower, most of them equal: they have all less scent than the ordinary Red Rose.

According to Parkinson, the Great Double-Damask Provence, or Holland Rose, has its bark of a reddish or brown colour: the leaves likewise more reddish than in others, and somewhat larger. It usually grows very like the Damask Rose, and much to the same height: the flowers are of the same deep blush colour, or rather somewhat deeper, but much thicker, broader, and more double by three parts almost, the outer leaves turning back, when the flower hath stood long blown, the middle part itself being folded hard with small leaves: the scent comes nearest the Damask Rose, but is much short of it.

Rosa lutea The first [Rosa lutea] has weak stalks, which send out many slender branches closely armed with short crooked brown prickles; the leaflets two or three pais, ovate and thin, smooth, of a light green, sharply serrate: the flowers on short peduncles, single, bright yellow, without scent [!]. It is a native of Germany, etc.

The Great and Small Dwarf Provence Roses, called Rose de Meaux, differ from each other in little except size: the smaller of the two is generally known by nursery-men and gardeners by the name of Pompone Rose. It throws out numerous stems, which rarely exceed a foot or a foot and a half in height; usually straight, rigid, and very prickly: the flowers very small, and distinguished by the brilliant colour of the central petals, appearing in June.
All the sorts flower from July to August.
