Les Rosier musquats blancs, veulent être taillés tous les ans en l'Autonne ou au Printems à un demi pied prés de terre, il faut les couvrir de long fumier pendant l'hyver de crainte qu'ils ne gèlent & au Printems vous leur donnez un léger labour, lors que vous leur ôtés ledit fumier.
Et quand les fleurs commencent à paroistre, s'il y a des jets qui n'en ayent point il faut les tailler à un pied & demy de bas, & á chaque œil il poussera un jet, qui donnera aussi beaucoup de fleurs vers l'Autonne.

Rosa moschata flore pleno, C.B. Double Musk or Damask Roses. Rosa moschata, Lob.ic. alba multiplex, Tab. alba Damascena flore pleno, Eyst. Damascena sive moschata pleno flore Cam. Sativa quinta multiplex, Dod. These two roses are, although small, have the sweetest fragrance and are not less than the Apothecary's Musk. the colour is white, but a yellow is seen when turning. Our cold is too strong for them: therefore it is better to place them on a trellis like oranges. Otherwise they desire the sunniest location like other roses...and to be kept moist...In mild winters they can remain in the garden if covered; In hard winters they are endangered.
