Synopsis
Excerpt from Review of the British Roses: Especially Those of the North of England
Passing the alien Cinnamomeaz we come first to the Spinosissima, all comparatively low bushes, plentifully stoloniferous, with erect or slightly arching stems and short compact branches, typically subglobose fruit, and truly persistent sepals, but best characterised amongst the free-styled roses by the decided inequality of their usually crowded prickles, which pass from their full developement down to minute aciculi by gradual stages of transition, and by the, at least occasional occurrence of setse on the well-matured stems.
