The Evergreen Musk Rose... grows naturally in Spain; the seeds of this were sent to me by Robert Moore, Esq. who found the plants growing there naturally. This rises with ...stalks four or five feet high, which are covered with a green bark, and armed with strong crooked white spines. The leaves are composed of five oval lobes ending in acute points; they are smooth, of a lucid green, and are slightly sawed on their edges; these continue all the year, and make a goodly appearance in winter. The flowers grow in large bunches or umbels at the end of the branches; they are single, white, and have a strong musky odour; they appear in August, and if the autumn proves favourable, will continue in succession till October.
