ROSA MOSCHATA.—Tus Muss-sceytep Ross. 
This family received its name from the peculiar, and to many 
disagreeable, odor which they exhale when in flower, and em- 
brace single, semi-double, and a few very double varieties. They 
are more or less tender, and, in bleak and unsheltered situations, 
should be protected by coverings of straw or the branches of ever- 
greens. The treatment recommended for the Noisettes is adapted 
to this class of the rose. Being rapid growers, they make hand- 
some pillar roses.. They require a dry situation and rich soil.
