MUSK-SCENTED ROSES, (ROSA MOSCHATA.) 



The white musk-scented cluster rose is one of the oldest 

 inhabitants of the rose garden, and is known all over the 

 earth, where the rose has been cultivated, or its name been 

 heard. It is supposed that it is the famed rose of the Per- 

 sian poets. Although there are several varieties under 

 this head, very few of them, indeed, have that peculiar 

 fragrance which the genuine old species possesses. They 

 require similar treatment to the Bourbon and Noisette 

 Roses, and, in fact, fanciers have been, if possible, too 

 minute, to separate this group from the Noisette Roses, 

 merely because they are, in some degree, musk-scented. 



Old musk cluster, yellowish white, expanded and semi- 

 double, blooms in immense clusters and finely 

 scented. 



Frazerii, Blush musk and Pink musk, all the same rose, 

 blush pink, semi-double, much puffed in Europe, 

 being the only one of colour in the group. 



Herbemonte, pure white, very large flower in fine clusters. 



Princesse de Nassau, creamy white, perfectly double, very 

 fragrant, and blooms in large clusters. 



Ranunculus, musk cluster, pure white, very double ; flow- 

 ers in very large clusters. 



Susanna, small yellowish white, very fragrant.
