The Moss Rose (Rosa centifolia muscosa) is supposed to have originated from an accidental sport of the common Provence, and this supposition is strengthened by the fact that the seed from Moss Roses often produces plants having flowers entirely free from moss.  The earliest account we have of the Moss Rose is that it was imported from Holland to England in 1596.  The following varieties may be ranked among the best in this class:
Princess Alice— A vigorous growing variety with pale blush flowers, shading to pink in the centre.

 William Paul, Waltham Cross.  English Raised Roses. 
I had conceived that if anything could add to the beauty of the Moss Rose, it would be to impart to it the exquisite tint of the R. Alba or Maiden's Blush. To obtain this, I hybridized the Moss du Luxembourg with an Alba Rose, and among the offspring was a Moss Rose, with flowers like the Maiden's Blush, and which was afterwards named Princess Alice.
