MOSS ROSE. 
n055 ROJEJ. 
The roses of this class (Rosa ccntifolia mmcosa) bloom in June and July, and their exquisite beauty is known 
to all. While the open flowers are handsome, and the stately growth of the plants most elegant, it is the lovely 
mossy buds which give the class its distinctive value. The Moss Roses are exceedingly hardy and permanent in
