great importance of this rose will be 

 evident. 



Eosa Gallica, the French rose, is a na- 

 tive of France, Switzerland, Italy and 

 Austria. It is supposed to l3e the Eosa 

 Milesiana of Pliny. Eosa Damascena, E. 

 centifolia, E. muscosa and E. alba are 

 supposed to be derived from this. 



Cabbage Rose, Damask and Moss Rose. 



We now come to a time in the history 

 of the rose, the early part of the nine- 

 teenth century, when rose culture, as we 

 now know it, really began. This was 

 the day of the old Provence or cabbage 

 rose, Eosa centifolia, or Eosa provincialis, 

 as it was often called. This was the rose 

 which delighted the heart of our grand- 

 mothers, and which added the rose charm 

 to their gardens. It was the queen of 

 the rose world in those days, and some- 

 thing over seventy varieties are said to 

 have- been listed in the rose catalogues 

 at that time. It is found commonly in 

 the south of France, but its origin is 

 lost in oblivion. It was the popular rose 

 of ancient Eome, being a prominent fea- 

 ture in their feasts and decorations. It 

 is probably the 100-leaved rose of Pliny. 

 It is the blood of this rose which has 

 mingled itself with others, infusing its 

 strong habit of growth into the progeny. 



The moss rose, Eosa muscosa, is con- 

 sidered to be a derivative of Eosa centi-

folia. Whatever its derivation, however, 

 it is a lovely rose and holds a warm 

 place in the hearts of most of us. There 

 are several forms of it, the single, double 

 and perpetual. 



Eosa Damascena, the damask rose or 

 rose of Damascus, is a native of Syria. 

 It is said to have been known to Euro- 

 peans first at the time of the crusades. 

 It was reported of Saladin that in 1187, 

 when he recovered Jerusalem from the 

 crusaders, he used rose water with which 

 to purify the Mosque of Omar after it 

 had been defiled, in his estimation, by 

 the Christians' use of it for a church. 

 It is said that 500 camel loads of roses 

 were brought from Damascus for this 

 purpose. 



The Coming of the Hybrids. 



The hybrid Cliina roses made their ap- 

 pearance in the early part of the nine- 

 teenth century, while the Provence roses 

 were at their prime and in the height of

their glory. This hybrid was the result 

 of crossing the China rose, Eosa Indica, 

 with varieties of the French and Prov 

 ence roses. The autumn-flowering qua! 

 ity of the China rose, however, did not 

 impress itself upon these hybrids. It 

 required still another cross to accomplisii 

 this. 



The hybrid Bourbon was also a prod- 

 uct of the early part of tHls century 

 It resulted from the crossing of tb'* 

 French and Provence roses with an au- 

 tumn-flowering variety found on the Isl*? 

 of Bourbon. Then came the Bourbon
