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.

Les Rosiers musquats blancs, veulent estre tailler tous les ans à l'Automne ou au Printempsà un demy pied prés de terre; il faut le couvrir de long fumier durant l'Hyver, de crainte qu'ils ne gelent, & audit Printemps vous leur donnez un leger labour, lors que vous leur ôtez ledit fumier.
Et quand leurs Fleurs commencent à paroître, 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 y poussera un jet, qui donnera aussi beaucoup de Fleurs vers l'Automne.

Rosa moschata flore pleno.
The double Musk Rose riseth very high with many green branches, and dark green shining leaves, armed with great sharp thorns, the flowers come forth on long foot-stalksat the ends of the branches, many together in a tuft, most of them flowering together, being small whitishor Cream-coloured Roses, not very double, the first row of leavesbeing much bigger than the rest, which are small and stand loosly, not forming so fair a double floweras the ordinary white Rose. There is amnother of this kind that beareth single Roses, of much lesser esteem than this; the flowers of both are chiefly valued for their scent, which is sweet like unto Musk, from whence they took the name: commonly they flower in August, after all others are past, but their usual time is in September.
