13. ROSA SARMENTACEA—GLAUCUS-LEAVED DOG ROSE. 
Calyx permanent. Fruit egg-shaped, smooth. Leaf lets ovate, doubly serrated, glaucus. Prickles hooked. Calyx deciduous. 
R. sarmentacea. Woods, in Linn. Trans, v. xii, p. 213. Swartz. MSS. 
Rosa glaucophylla. Geog. of Plants, first ed. p. 45. With. ed. 6, v. in, p. 619. 

This is a much slenderer, though less trailing Briar than Rosa canina; its flowers pale pink, growing in pairs or single, and its fruit large. It also further differs in habit, by not having young shoots sprouting beyond the blossoms, so as to give them the appearance of being axillary; and from Rosa sentriosa of Acharius (Stockholm Transactions) in the fruit being ovate, not globular. The leaves of the shrub are glaucus—peculiarly so in the spring of the year; and with reluctance I relinquish the name given to it in the first edition of this pamphlet, for the less appropriate one of my late friend, Dr. Swartz. 

Every hedge near Newcastle, both in Northumberland and Durham.
