Old-Fashioned Roses 
Crested Moss. This Rose was found growing on a convent wall in Friburg, 
Switzerland, in 1827. It has been called Cristata and Chapeau de Napoleon. Al¬ 
though it is not a true Moss, the calyx of the bloom is so remarkably fringed and 
frilled that it cannot be assigned to any other class. The flowers are large, full, and 
bright rose-pink. A very desirable and popular variety. 75 cts. each, $6.50 for 10. 
Crimson Globe. (W. Paul & Son, 1890.) Flower large, full, globular, deep 
crimson. Very vigorous and floriferous. 
Cumberland Belle. (Dreer, 1900.) A climbing Moss Rose which is a 
comparatively modern American variety with small, silvery pink flowers. Well 
mossed. 
De Candolle. (Portemer, 1847 or 1857.) The flowers are reported to be 
large and full, soft pink or rose-tinted. There was an older, single, white-flowered 
Scotch Rose of the same name, but the one we have seems to be a true Moss. 
Delille. (Robert, 1852.) The blush-white blooms are semi-double and nicely 
mossed. It may repeat for you, as it does for us, in the middle of July. 
Denis Helie. A heavily mossed and vigorous variety bearing shell-pink 
flowers. 
Docteur Marjolin. (Robert & Moreau, I860.) Shell-pink. 
Duchesse d’Istrie. (Laffay, 1855.) The flowers are double, medium-sized, 
rose or rosy pink in color and are borne in clusters. 
Duchesse de Verneuil. (Portemer, 1856.) Heavily mossed buds, opening 
to flesh-pink flowers of exquisite camellia form, deepening to salmon-pink. 
Eugene de Savoie. (Robert & Moreau, 1860.) A very pretty clear red 
Moss. Old books say this blooms again in autumn. 
Eugene Verdier. (E.Verdier, 1872.) Medium-sized, very double flowers of 
fine form and sweet fragrance. The blooms are vermilion, or crimson, or light red 
with a deeper center. Vigorous plants with tea-like foliage. 
Eugenie Guinoisseau. (Bertrand Guinoisseau, 1864.) A very handsome 
Moss Rose with velvety, bright red flowers. Quite double and open-centered. It 
may bloom again during the summer on new wood. 
Eelicite Bohan. The introducer is unknown, but it was grown in America 
prior to 1866, a large, full flower of soft, vivid pink, or bright rose-color. 
Fornarina. (Robert & Moreau, 1862.) Medium-sized flowers, carmine with 
red center, or simply brilliant red. This was one of the Perpetual Moss tribe, and 
is believed to bloom very freely in the autumn. Our Rose is nearer pink than red. 
Frangois de Salignac. (Robert, 1854.) A vigorous plant bearing rose- 
pink blooms. 
General Kleber. (Robert, 1856.) The well-mossed buds open soft pink with 
light lilac shadings.
