DEUIL de PAUL FONTAINE—"'Something I never thought to see.” 
DEUIL de PAUL FONTAINE. (1873.) 3 - 4 feet. 
One of the two everblooming Mosses from England which at long last we 
are able to offer in fair quantity . Of the two, this is the '‘man's Moss Rose,” 
bolder and more striking in form and color than its companion, Alfred 
de Dalmas (previously described). To me, much like our Gloire des 
Mousseux except for its color which you will not find en color charts. 
“Intense dark crimson-black, shaded purple and brown-red,'’ says English 
authority, G. S. Thomas, but I would substitute mahogany for brown, then 
electrify the whole combination! ‘Impossible . .. no such shades in 
roses,’ you say ... but have you seen Deuil de Paul Fontaine? 
August 1954. “Now covered with buds and long shoots of its second blooming. 
Something I never thought to see—a real ever-blooming Moss Rose.” Neville
