Class III. Moss Roses 
When well grown the Moss Roses are among our 
most valuable decorative plants, but too often we see 
them neglected until they become weak and produce 
miserable blooms. No class requires or deserves a 
richer soil than this. Pruning should always be 
thorough, so as to induce a strong growth of young 
wood, and, consequently, a bountiful supply of lux¬ 
uriant foliage and large rich flowers. The greater 
portion of the Moss Roses are only' annual bloomers, 
but a few really good kinds are known as " Perpetual," 
and bloom occasionally during the autumn. 
As a rule they are all quite hardy and will survive 
without protection, although a liberal mulch of long 
strawy manure in the autumn will prove highly bene- 
cial as a protection to the roots during winter. 
Blanche Moreau (Moreau-Robert, 18S1). A desir¬ 
able novelty in the Perpetual section. Pure white, 
large, full, and of perfect form ; the buds and flowers 
produced in clusters, and well furnished with deep
