THE ROSE. (2)

[Page 108.

1. Roses are of many kinds and many colours. Most of them are sweet-scented. Some rose-bushes do not grow very high. Others grow up as high as our houses.

2. Roses have thorns on their stems. Wild roses have many thorns. Wild roses are small—have only five leaves—but they are very pretty.

3. When they die they leave berries, called hips, which make good food for the birds in winter. There are seeds in them.

Write and learn:

The rose has— The rose is— The wild rose—
A sweet scent. Sometimes white. Grows in hedges.
Sharp thorns on its stem. Sometimes yellow. Has five leaves.
Soft, smooth leaves. Sometimes red. Has berries called 'hips.'
