R. edwardsii, Rose of Edward, or Madras Rose.
Remarks—This Rose is very common about Madras, scarcely a garden being without it. It blossoms freely all the year round, producing large bonfires at the extremities of its shoots of the ear; but, if handsome, well shaped flowers are desired, these must be thinned out on their first appearance to one or two or at the most three on each stalk. It is a pretty flower, but has little fragrance.
