ROSES.—Perhaamongst the productions -

the vegetable kingdom there is nothing more remarks!)
than a rose recently introduced into Europe from China
the Rosa Grevilii, or Grevilli's China Rose. In one We'
cimen, near London, the shoot far exceeds any thing of the
kind, having in the Vac° of a few weeks attained
height of eighteen feet, and it now covers an area of 3....""
one hundred square feet, with more than a hundred tru- ,
of flowers, some of which have more than fifty buds 'u

at three thousand : but the greatest curiosity is the oTte:

light blush, deeper blush, light red, deeper red, scarlet 10
