At the moment that invincible briar — a true species — Moschata Floribunda, is a glorious mound of sweet-scented flower. Why do professional growers fail to stock it? It is incomparable in its place — and that a wide one.

Where crosses were made between species within the Synstylae it is seen that a larger per cent of pollinations have set, and a higher per cent of fill secured, than where crosses are made between seed species of this and pollen species of other sections. This is true even though only one cross of four attempted resulted in sets. The fact that the cross Rosa moschata floribunda x R . multiflora upright was so success....

Jessie Ferguson. A Botanical Study of Rose Stocks. 'R. moschata floribunda'. This is a very vigorous stock with an extensive rather spreading root system consisting of thick roots with a considerable amount of fibre. Cuttings root readily and are the only form used. Budding is easy and the percentage of successes is high with strong-growing varieties of roses, but the stock is considered too vigorous for the more delicate sorts. Up to the present it has been little used, but is well worth a trial as a stock for use on rather poor soils and for roses grown in pots.

The Gardens at Belvoir Park, Belfast, the residence of Mrs. W. H. Wilson, have many features of interest, but the most beautiful part is the water garden.......Beautiful climbing plants ramble over old tree trunks and climbing Roses and Wistarias in particular afford an abundance of bright flowers. There are several large bushes of Rosa moschata floribunda, some of which are 15 feet high and considerably more through.

R. moschata (the Musk Rose), sometimes appearing in catalogues under it« synonym Brunonis. This and its varieties are among the most vigorous of all Roses, and its various uses are many, for pergolas where there is plenty of head room, at its best climbing up trees; some forms, notably floribunda, makes an excellent "lawn" plant. Introduced from the Himalayas, a good plant makes a beautiful picture. It is difficult to say which are the best form. I have moschata alba, moschata nivea, floribunda and grandiflora (the latter, perhaps, the most rampant) : nivea I am discarding...

Notes on New Roses.
Moschata floribunda.—This is a hybrid from Brunonis or Himalaica and must not be confused with Brunonis flore-pleno, as it has single white flowers produced in immense trusses. Those who care for these Musk Roses and those who do not should certainly try floribunda, making sure that they get it.

There is a form of R. Brunoni which bears very pretty double flowers. There is also a hybrid variety of R. Brunoni named floribunda, which bears very freely its pretty clusters of single white blossoms. I believe this Rambler to be a cross between The Garland and another Rose. In any case, it is a splendid Rambler, quite one of the best half-dozen....
