10 — ROSA MOSCHATA, var. NEPALENSIS Lindl.
Rosa moschata, var. nepalensis : a typo recedit habitu graciliori, foliis subtus ramulisque magis pubescentibus, foliolis angustioribus, acutioribus, pedicellis gracilibus, magis glandulosis.

Stem tall, arching or sarmentose ; prickles small, scattered, uniform, hooked. Leaflets 5-7, oblong or oblong-lanceolate, 1½-2 in. long, simply sharply serrated, pubescent beneath; petioles glandular and pubescent; stipules adnate, gland-ciliated, with a linear free point. Flowers up to 50-60 in a corymbose panicle ; pedicels slender, glandular and pubescent. Petals white, middle-sized. Styles connate in a slender column, distinctly protruded from the disc. Fruit small, globose, naked; sepals deciduous.

Introduced in 1822 from Nepal by Wallich, who had sent specimens to the De Candolle herbarium, Geneva, in 1819-1821, this Rose was also collected in Nepal by Buchanan-Hamilton, who sent his specimens to Lambert. Lindley mentions a plant which was given to him from Prince Leopold’s garden, where it had been raised from seed received direct from Nepal. In the Kew Herbarium there are specimens collected in various localities in the province of Kwangtung in the south of China. It is not found in the western Himalaya, but appears to be confined to the provinces of Garhwal, Kumaon and Nepal. In the forests of those regions it wanders from tree to tree and is described as being strikingly beautiful. Lindley described this Rose in his Monograph , dedicating it to Robert Brown under the name of Rosa Brunonii , and also in the Botanical Register as Rosa moschata , var. nepalensis. It is under the latter name that the plant should now be known.
Rosa moschata Mill, is such an extremely polymorphous species that it is not surprising that eminent botanists should hold different opinions as to its identity. Crépin¹ considered that Rosa Brunonii ought not even to be considered as a variety ; he had observed in other forms of Rosa moschata all the characters supposed to be peculiar to Rosa Brunonii. In any case it is sufficiently distinct, from a horticultural point of view, to be given a favourable position in gardens, where its luxuriant beauty may develop without risk of being cut back by inclement weather. A well-chosen situation is advisable, for it is rather more tender than the typical Rosa moschata Mill.
The form grown in this country is easily distinguished from Rosa moschata Mill., as known in cultivation, by the pubescence of the branchlets, calyx and leaves, the much narrower and almost linear leaves, the glandular peduncles, and smaller, more exact flowers. Under cultivation these characters become still more marked. Crépin² pointed out that the character of pubescence is not confined to any one form of Rosa moschata but is found in many others. This need not, however, necessarily influence the inclusion in gardens of two Roses each so beautiful and so distinct in its way as Rosa moschata and Rosa moschata , var. nepalensis .
This Rose is figured by Andrews under the name of Rosa napaulensis.<sup>3

Les Rosiers Grimpants de Suisnes.
Sous ce titre, nous voulons parler de la très-intéressante collection de Rosiers grimpants dits sarmenteux , cultivée par MM. Scipion et Pierre Cochet, horticulteurs-rosiéristes à Suisnes, par Grisy-Suisnes (Seine-et-Marne), et qu’il nous a été permis d’étudier sur place le 23 juin dernier....
Rosa Brunonii. — Curieuse forme, très-vigoureuse, distincte par son feuillage glauque, et ses fleurs simples, blanches, assez grandes, à étamines jaunes du plus bel effet.
MM. Cochet ont obtenu tout récemment une variété à fleurs doubles du Rosa Brunonii qui est absolument remarquable. Il paraît que celle-ci n’est point une nouveauté, et qu’elle aurait été déjà introduite dans les cultures,
mais d’où elle aurait à peu près complètement disparu.

Rosa Brunonii Lindl. Brunonsrose, (R. Brunonis Wall., R. Brownii Spr.). Vaterland: Nepal, Kamaon. – Sie ist ausgesperrt-ästig und durch die langen, schlanken Aeste fast kletternd; Stacheln stark gebogen. Blätter gefiedert; Blättchen 5 – 7, lanzettförmig, auf beiden Flächen behaart, unten drüsig, zweifarbig: Afterblätter angewachsen, spitz, ganzrandig. Blumen in dichten, sehr großen, prächtigen Doldentrauben, einfach, wohlriechend, weiß, etwas röthlich gefärbt, später roth gefleckt; Blumenstiele und Kelche haarig-borstig. Kelchzipfel fast ganz; Griffel in eine lange, steinhaarige Säule vereinigt, Frucht eiförmig. Sie hält unter leichter Bedeckung und an Mauern gezogen, selbst die größere Kälte im Freien aus. Die in Töpfe gepflanzten Exemplare blühen sparsamer und müssen am frostfreien Orte, wie die übrigen Topfroſen durchwintert werden. Am leichtesten und dankbarsten blühen sie, wenn man sie auf Rosa canina oder andere Arten oculirt.

Translation:
Rosa Brunonii Lindl. Brunon's rose, (R. Brunonis Wall., R. Brownii Spr.). Motherland: Nepal, Kamaon. – It is well branched and almost climbs through its long, slender branches; prickles strongly curved. leaves pinnate; Leaflets 5 – 7, lanceolate, hairy on both surfaces, glandular below, two-colored: stipules attached, pointed, entire. Flowers in dense, very large, magnificent corymbs, simple, fragrant, white, slightly reddish in color, later spotted red; Flower stalks and calyxes hairy and bristly, sepals almost whole; Style united in a long, stone-hairy column, fruit ovoid. It can withstand even the cold outdoors under light cover and when pulled against walls. The specimens planted in pots bloom more sparingly and, like the other potted roses, must be kept in a frost-free place over the winter. They bloom most easily and most gratefully when planted on Rosa canina or other species.
