Rivers (1846) p. 131
Our very old Damask Rose, the red monthly, not the comparatively new rose, "rose à quatres saisons" of the French, but the red monthly rose of our oldest writers on gardening, is probably the rose which was cultivated so extensively in Egypt and in Rome for its quality of flowering in autumn.

This passage is in the 1843 edition, but "rose à quatres saisons" is not mentioned.
