Celery Leaved In this the flowers are those of the old Cabbage Rose, but the leaves are remarkably cut and twisted, suggesting those of celery. Illustrated by Redoute. I have not yet found this variety.

Varieties in cultivation: Celestial. Pale rose-pink, fading pale, semi-double, petals curved inwards at first, anthers, and downy separate pistils. Pedicel with long red glands, few on hips. Calyx long, often leafy, covered, very short glands and down. Leaves round, pale glaucous green, and leaflets cupped, thorny, sharp pointed serrations. Leaf ribs all downy, petiole downy and glandular. Stipules narrow, edged glands. Wood green, waxy a few very thin red thorns. Makes a 4 ft. bush and is one of the best of all old Roses in its fresh simplicity. Does not set seed. (See Plate 15.)

Pedicel and hip, very few short glands. Calyx longer, thin points, rarely winged. Leaves pea green, narrow, tea-shape and Gallica texture, quite smooth; petiole thorny.

Common Moss. 1720? Summer Flowering. Rather large, pink cupped, quite Centifolia character, good scent. Pedicel and calyx heavily mossed, also calyx much fringed and longer than bud. (See Plate 29.) Wood red, thickly set with many large and small straight thorns. Leaves rather large, edged red when young, held out flat. Growth spreading.
Having examined the Herbarium specimen of Miller's Moss at the South Kensington Museum, I fancy ours is a larger form of the original Moss Rose of the early eighteenth century.
