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.

Rosa Muscosa...Rose with armed stalks, the feet-stalks of the leaves and the empalements of the flower very hairy. Rosa rubra plena, spinosissima, pedunculo muscoso. Boerh. Ind. alt.2.p.252. The most thorny, double, red Rose, with a mossy foot-stalk, commonly called Moss Provence Rose....from the resemblance of the flowersof this have to those of the common Provence Rose, yet it is undoubtedly a distinct species; for although the stalks and shoots of this are very like those of the commmon, yet the plants are difficult to propagate, which the common sort is not. This very rarely sends up suckers from the root, and when the branches are layed down, they are long before they put out roots, so that this sort has been frequently propagated by budding it upon stocks of other sorts of roses, but the plants so raised are not so durable as those which are propagated by layers. The stalks and branches of this sort are closely armed with brown spines; the foot-stalks of the flowers and the empalements are covered with long hair-like Moss; the flowers are of an elegant crimson colour, and have a most agreable odour.
