Mousseline, 1855. It is difficult to decide whether this name or 'Alfred de Dalmas', under which this variety is also sometimes found, should be used. The old writers are not definite in their descriptions. This variety makes an extremely compact bush up to 4 feet or so, with many short twigs and distinct spoon-shaped leaflets; it flowers from June to October. The creamy blush blooms asre cupped and well filled with high centres. Very free flowering, few thorns, but not conspiciously mossy. This variety seems to me obviously related to the Damask 'Quatre Saisons Blanc Mousseux', perhaps through the Portland Roses themselves.

Once seen these roses [Portland] are unmistakeable, and bear remarkable resemblance to the Perpetual Moss Rose 'Mousseline'. In fact, this resemblance, and the finding of two similar Mosses at the Roseraie de l'Haÿ ('Marie Leczinska' and 'Mélanie Valdor', both raised in 1865) quite forcibly prove that the Autumn Damask Rose has played some part in the formation of the Mosses. The hard almost woody moss of 'Quatre Saisons Blanc Mousseux' is undoubtedly encountered again in 'Mousseline' and 'Comtesse de Murinais'.

Mousseline or Alfred de Delmas, unlike the tall Blanche Moreau, has grown into a dwarfer, more compact bush, which really does flower fairly perpetually. The blooms come in tight clusters and are only lightly mossed; but are very charming fora ll that, the colour being creamy pink.
