178 A BOOK ABOUT ROSES. 



and much like Comtesse de Murinals. But, as a rule, they 

 soon deteriorate on the Brier, and the amateur will best 

 succeed in growing them as I have advised with reference 

 to the Common Moss. Celina and White Bath I have not 

 included in the preceding list, never having grown them as 

 standards; but they deserve attention — the first for its 

 exquisite crimson buds, the second as being our only really 

 white Moss-Rose, but of very delicate habit. 



Of the Moss-Roses called Perpetual, and deserving the 

 name as autumnal bloomers, Madame Edouard Ory and 

 Salet are the only specimens which I have grown success- 

 fully in my own garden, or admired elsewhere. The former 

 is of a carmine, the latter of a light rose, tint. 



All the Roses which I have selected in this chapter are 

 desirable in an extensive Rose-garden. To amateurs of 

 less ample range or resources I would commend, as the 

 most interesting, the Common and Miniature Provence, 

 with the Common and the Crested Moss.
