The Flower Garden Display'd, 2nd Edition
(1734) Page(s) 46. Includes photo(s). Productions of the Month of M A Y .... Numb. XXVII. Red Austrian Rose. This makes a Plant like the Yellow Austrian Rose, but its Blossoms are vastly more beautiful, for the Flower-Leaves are of a bright Scarlet within-side, tho' yellow without. The Thrum in the middle, is yellow. This Plant must be cultivated like the Cinnamon Rose, Numb. I. of this Month.
(1734) Page(s) 51. Includes photo(s). Productions of the Month of J U N E .... Numb. XII. Blush Belgick Rose, This Rose is very double in its Blossoms ; the Leaves are of a Flesh-colour, and equal to any Rose we have, for Beauty. It makes a fine flowering Shrub ; and should be propagated like the Cinnamon Rose, Numb. I. in the Month of May,
(1734) Page(s) 75. Includes photo(s). Productions of the Month of A U G U S T .... Numb. XXXIII. Double-purple Virgin's Bower. This is a Plant that wants Support. It is commonly placed against a Wall. The Flowers are very double, and of a bluish Purple at first Opening, and then change to a reddish Purple. This may be increas'd by Layers in June, as I am inform'd, but particularly from Offsets or Suckers from the Roots, transplanted in February or March. It loves an open free Soil.
(1734) Page(s) 39. Includes photo(s). Productions of the Month of M A Y . Numb. I. The Cinnamon Rose. This is a Plant that has been a long time in England; we find it in many of the old Country-Gardens. If it is planted against a Wall, it will shoot three or four Foot in a Year, and brings but a few Spines upon it. The Flowers are double, but are (mall, and have but little Odour. They delight in alight moist Ground. The Manner of propagating this Plant is by taking the Suckers from it in February or March, or in Autumn, and planting them immediately, watering them well after planting, so as to make the Earth like Mud about the Roots, and by that means to fettle the Ground well about them; for the Roots have few Fibers, and are soon dry'd by the Air.
(1734) Page(s) 91. Includes photo(s). Productions of the Month of O C T O B E R..... Numb. X X V I . Double-white Musk Rose. This is the Virginia Cluster Rose, which will bring long Spikes of Flowers, to the Number of an hundred, or two, or three, and sometimes many more; I have computed above seven hundred Flowers and Buds on one Sprig, at Mr. Topham's at Windsor. The Plant is. propagated like the Cinnamon Rose, Numb. I. in the Month of May.
[Possibly Richard Topham (1671-1730) MP of New Windsor]
(1734) Page(s) 53. Includes photo(s). Productions of the Month of J U N E .... Numb. XX. White Rose. This makes a Shrub like the Moss Province Rose of this Month, Numb. XVIII. the Flowers are double, fill'd with white Leaves, and some light Yellow in the middle. It is propagated like the Cinnamon Rose, Numb. I. in the Month of May.
(1734) Page(s) 53. Includes photo(s). Productions of the Month of J U N E .... Numb. XXI. Dutch Hundred-leav'd Rose. This is what we call the Provence Rose. The Flowers are the most double of any we have in the Gardens ; 'tis a free Flower, and brings its Blossoms by two or three in Cluster. The Colour of the Flower is like the Damask Rose, such a fine Flesh-colour for the Light, and shaded with a Crimson. This is propagated like the Cinnamon Rose, Numb. I. in the Month of May, as you may see.
(1734) Page(s) 52. Includes photo(s). Productions of the Month of J U N E .... Numb. XIII. The Frankfort Rose. This makes much such a Shrub as the former [Blush Belgick], but its Flowers are more double, and of a stronger Red than the foregoing Sort. It is propagated by taking off the Suckers from the Roots of the old Plants in February or March. It must be well water'd at Planting, and loves a stiff loamy Soil.
(1734) Page(s) 51. Includes photo(s). Productions of the Month of J U N E .... Numb. IX. Maidens-Blush Rose. This makes such another Plant as the Austrian Rose. The Flowers are thin of Leaves, but double ; and the Thrums appear in the middle of the Flower of a yellow Colour. It is what one may rather call a Semi-Double, than a compleat Double. Its Flower-Leaves are of a Flesh-colour; and its Culture is the same as that of the Cinnamon Rose, Numb. I. in the Month of May.
(1734) Page(s) 53. Includes photo(s). Productions of the Month of J U N E .... Numb. XVIII. Moss Province Rose. This makes a Bush like the Province Rose, and bears Blossoms almost as double as that, only somewhat redder; and all the Stalks are cover'd with a green Down, like Moss, which gives it its Name. It is cultivated like the Cinnamon Rose, Numb. I. in the Month of May.
