Trees; Shrubs; Forests and forestry. 344 ARBORETUM ET FRUTICETUM BRITANNICUM. 1 ft. Introduced in 1810. Flowers small, single or semidouble, pale blush ; April to November. The beautiful little plants called Fairy Roses, or Miniature Roses, in Rivers's Ahridged List, ate nearly all varieties of R. Lawrenceana ; and they are well worthy of culture, from their extreme dwarfness (often flowering when not more than 6 in. high), and the beautiful colour of their miniature rosebuds, the petals of which appear of a much darker hue than tho^e of the expanded flower. Rivers enumerates five select varieties, of which he says the Gloire des Lawrencianas is one of the prettiest. Th ilky Rose. 106. i Don's Mill., J 52. R. sERi'cEA Lindl. Xdentijication. Lindl. Ros.
