The Bourbon Rose (Rosa Bourboniana) is a native of the Isle of Bourbon, and is supposed to be a hybrid between the common China and the Red Rose of Four Seasons.  It was introduced to France in 1822.  There are now a great number of varieties belonging to this class, including some of the best-known florists' flowers, such as Souvenir de la Malmaison, a rose that is nearly always in flower, and which no garden is complete without.  In the following list will be found most of the leading varieties:
Acidalie — A variety of vigorous habit, with blush white flowers.

The Moss Rose (Rosa centifolia muscosa) is supposed to have originated from an accidental sport of the common Provence, and this supposition is strengthened by the fact that the seed from Moss Roses often produces plants having flowers entirely free from moss.  The earliest account we have of the Moss Rose is that it was imported from Holland to England in 1596.  The following varieties may be ranked among the best in this class:
Alice Leroy — A strong growing variety, with lilac flowers shaded with crimson.
