Group XXXVII.— THE MUSK ROSE. 



The Musk Rose is supposed to have been introduced to England about the 

 year 1596, and, by reason of its long residence among us, has become widely 

 spread throughout the country. The original Musk Rose is a rambling shrub, 

 abounding in Madeira and the North of Africa, also in Persia : indeed, it is gene- 

 rally supposed that the attar of Roses is made from the species now under consi- 

 deration. The flowers, which form in large clusters, seldom appear till late in 

 summer : their peculiar musk-like scent is a point of distinction, although not so 

 powerful as some authors would lead us to believe : it is one of the fine things of 

 nature, which requires the existence of special circumstances — a still moist atmo- 

 sphere—to be readily appreciable. These Roses are of rapid growth, best adapted 

 for Climbers : they are not sufficiently hardy to bear exposure in bleak unshel- 

 tered situations. They require long-pruning.
