The Mosses
Bloom with us, in greater profusion and perfection every Spring, and are indeed magnificent. Five hundred half-opened buds and fully expanded flowers have been counted, of a morning, on single plants!
The half-opened bud, so delicately and modestly concealed in its mossy covering, is one of the loveliest of floral gems.
308. Princess Adelaide—a very strong-growing variety, with large, rich, dark foliage; producing abundance of mossy buds, of a lively pink color, expanding well.

Translation: The Moss Rose.
Princess Adélaïde (Laffay), A Hybrid, with large, full, blooms of compact form, a gleaming pink, blooming in large clusters. An upright plant that is one of the most vigous of all Moss Roses, and therefore valuable for growing on walls, pillars and arbors. Should be pruned as with other climbing and rambling roses.

Moss.
The great beauty of this class fully repays the extra care and attention the high cultivation which they require demands.  Luxembourg and Princesse Adelaide are robust growers, and ought not to be over-pruned, but thinned out, and their shoots tied down to induce a more abundant bloom [...].  If desired, they may be grown as pillar Roses.
Princesse Adelaide, light rose, in clusters; a splendid flower.

Moss Roses.
Princesse Adelaide; rosy pink; in large clusters, and of very luxuriant growth. This is, perhaps, the most profuse bloomer of all the Moss roses in a Southern climate; it often will make standards 6 feet high, on its own roots.

MOSS ROSES.

Princesse Adélaide is a remarkably vigorous-growing variety, with large and handsome foliage, and would make a good pillar rose. Its regularly-formed flowers, of a bright pink or rose, are produced in clusters and open well. This is one of the most desirable of this class, and owes its origin to Laffay.
