The Provence Rose is tho Rosa provincialis of Miller's Gardeners' Dic- 

 tionary; the Rosa centifolia of modern Botanists; the Rose a centfeuilles 

 of the French. These last are both improper names, as they seem applied 

 to the leaves of the plant rather than to the petals of tho flower, as intended. 

 A most distinct and elegant family, and excessively fragrant. The foot- 

 stalks of the flowers are slender, and the flowers large, so that when in bloom 

 the plant has a peculiar pendulous and graceful appearance. The Moss 

 Rose is evidently a variety of this, as I have raised seedlings from the single 

 Moss which have lost all their mo3sy appearance, and have returned to the 

 habit of the Provenco Rose ; it has been asserted that in a single state it is 

 found wild in Provence and Languedoc, but I can find no botanical autho- 

 rity for the assertion.
