Mossy de Meaux ('Pompon Mousseux', 'Pomponia Muscosa') Pompon Moss. England, pre-1813. The author cites information from different sources... Blush, peach centre... of a delicate pink colour; the plant is very dwarf, and difficult of cultivation... Discovered five-and-twenty years ago [making 1813] in the garden of an old lady in the west of England, of whom it was purchased by a nurseryman for five guineas, -- certainly a sport, as the 'Rose de Meaux' is known never to bear seed in England... Found by Mr. Sweet in a garden at Taunton, England, in 1814... a miniature 'Common Moss'... called the 'Mossy Pompone'...first raised in the summer of 1815 [at Hammersmith Nursery]... a white variant is also grown in Kennedy's Nursery...

The deep rose 'De Meaux' and the same in white are irresistible unmossed varieties, their buttony flowers very double and fragrant and held more erect than those of most of their taller sisters. These, however, have not been altogether a success with us.....

Mossy de Meaux (Centifolia). Pale rose, outer petals darker, opening flat, showing anthers. Pedicel and calyx mossy, calyx longer. Leaves in fives, petiole glanded. Wood tinged red, few short straight thorns. Growth 9 in. This curious variety was found in a garden belonging to a Mr. Penny, of Taunton, in 1801. A Moss Rose and a De Meaux grew side by side, and a sucker from the latter came up mossed. I have not yet found this old variety. It is illustrated by Redoute.
