Notes;
From The Reader’s Digest Complete Library of the Garden
“….. for the common moss rose. This is a poor name for it – for this is the rose that inspired the composers of valentines and the decorators of china long ago. It has slender, beautiful buds which open to the prettiest of pink flowers and the scent is ravishing.”
