We have faid that in a ficsscling Number | 
we fhall deliver the Culture of the moft elegant | 
and choice Kinds of Rofes; but there remain” 
fome others more eafily raifed; which; for their 
Singularity, or Elegance,. demand a Place. 
The Mujk Rofe is one: its Flower i is inferior to 
many, other Kinds in Size, and'in Colour is fimply 
white, but the Scent makes Amends for its, other 
Defects, and the Number of tte Flowers is-fome 
farther Recommendation, 
The Generality of Authors abl have: written 
on Flowers have named it. The Baunines call 
it Rofa mofchata flore pleno, and Rofa mofchata 
minor flore pleno, ‘Yhe early Writers only Rofa 
mofcata alba. 
Linnvs, who refers the Varieties boldly in 
this Genus to their proper Species, calls it. Rofa 
caule aculeato pedunculis. levibus, calycibus femifpin- 
natis glabris: prickly Rofe with fmooth. Flower- | 
ftalks, and {mooth femipinnated Cups. 
The Root fpreads, and is very hardy, 
The Stem is firm, but not. thick, and the 
Shoots are numerous: it makes. a Buth of three 
Foot or more in Height: prickly in all Parts. ex-_ 
cept the Foot-ftalks of the Flower. 
The Leaves are large, they are sisiein toc and

The Farmer fitids great Advantage in obtain-

Soil, and more Compafs; and muft never be - 
fuffered to rum too high, or to be loaded’ with 
too much Wood. 
The richeft Garden Mould is the proper Earth 
for it; the Buth, fhould be planted at a Yard 
Diftance every Way from any thing elfe, and the _

Every Ofober it fhould be pruned with a bold 
Hand; and. every Spring a great Part of the 
Mould fhould be taken off, and ftefh put in its 
Place all round it. Then in the Beginning of the

many Flowers muft not be fuffered to blow, nor
