The list of moss roses has amazingly increased of late years—"quantity at the expense of quality'' I fear is the case. I however, noticed at Brussells a beautiful variety, called Aristobule. Its colour is a very pretty pink, slightly shaded and mottled. This will, I think, become a favourite with your rose cultivators.
