a trailing habit, the Musk Rose is well adapted for trellises 
and arbors; it grows from eleven to twelve feet high, requiring 
always some support to keep it from the ground. The flowers, 
which are large and white, bloom in clusters and have that 
peculiar musky odor from whence it derives its name. It is
