ROSA floribunda.

Character specificus. Rosa paniculis multifloris: germinibus oblongis, pedunculisque glabris: petiolis aculeatis: foliolis oblongis, acuminatis, glabris: spinis ramorum sparsis, rectis.
Specific character.
Rose with many-flowered panicles: seed-buds oblong: peduncles smooth: petioles prickly: leaflets oblong, pointed, and smooth: spines of the branches scattered and straight.
This delicate new Rose is said to be a hybrid production between the R. moschata and indica, and was received by Mr. Noisette, nurseryman near Paris, from his brother in America, and introduced by him from France to this country in 1816. The flowers at first are of a purply blush colour, and bleach as they fade to a pure white. Their unrivalled abundance, elegance, fragrance, and continued succession of bloom for six months, will always ensure its being regarded as one of the finest additions to this charming Genus.
