very double. A beautiful rose. Raised at Angers and 

 introduced in 1845. 



Gloire des Mousseuses. Flowers pale rose margined with 

 blush, very large, full and well mossed. One of the 

 handsomest. 



Panachee pleine. Flowers white or flesh-colour, occasion- 

 ally beautifully streaked with rose. Very double, 

 cupped form. Probably a sport from the White 

 Bath Moss.

According to Prevost, who was the first to describe 

 R. centifolia cristata, this crested moss was found by a 

 botanist, whose name is not recorded, growing on the 

 top of a ruined tower. William Paul, in his Rose Garden, 

 gives a convent garden near Berne as its habitat. Rivers, 

 writing in 1840, says it was discovered growing from a 

 crevice of a wall at Freiburg. It was introduced by 

 Vibert in 1827. At one of the summer shows this year 

 (1930) Mr. Bunyard had amongst the ' old ' roses one 

 named violaceae, which evidently came of moss rose 

 parentage. The petals were deepest claret colour, the 

 calyces were mossy and it was exquisitely fragrant. Bui 

 we have lost the Pompon Moss which figures in Redoutef 

 France has given us so many lovely roses that it is pleasan 

 to remember that we sent her the moss rose. Parsons? 

 writing in 1847, says, 'The first Moss rose known hi 

 France was said to have been introduced there by Madam 

 de Genlis, who brought it with her on her return froir 

 England.'
