z I 70 ROSA DEVONIENSIS. primrose yellow, with a pinkish-buff centre. Flowers exliibitcd at one of themeetings of the London Horticultural Society in Regent Street, were awarded theBanksian medal. Like the jcllow China and Noisette roses, it will succeed best if pLinted in arich border, and trained against an eastern or western wall. It thus stood thesevere winter of 1840-1841 uninjured. It is universally admitted to be the finestvariety over introduced, and we cannot speak too highly of it. As to the aspect of the wall on which it should be trained, we may remark, thatthose above indicated are not indispensable ; for it will thrive well against a southor south-western wall; and miglit, no doubt, be advantageously fastened to asingle pole in a s^heltered locality. This class of roses requires very little pruning,and their young shoots ought always to be allowed to remain disengaged from thewall through the summer, sinco the flowers invariably appear at the extremities ofthe branches.
