The best and most esteemed are, first, of the red Roses that called Rosa mundi, the rose of the World; Vitriensis, the red Belgick Rose; the marbled Rose, the Rose without thorns, and the red Province Rose; of the Damask Roses, the crystal Rose, Mrs. Hearts Rose, the blush Belgick Rose, the monethly Rose, and the Damask Province Rose: of the yellow Roses, the scarlet Austrian Rose, and the double yellow Rose: of white Roses, the blush Rose, and the Damask Musk Rose.

The other musk Rose of some called the Damask Musk Rose, and of others the white Cinnamon Rose, is in leaves and branches like the other, but groweth not so high, the leaves larger, and of a whiter green colour, the flowers bigger, whiter, and more double than of the former, but not altogether so sweet; this flowereth before the other in the end of other Roses, or presently after them.
Book (1656) Page(s) 162. Cinamonia flore albo, white Cinamon Rose.
Book (1629) Page(s) 418. Rosa Moschata multiplex altera: alijs Damascena alba, vel verisimilior Cinamomea flore plena albo. The double white Damaske Muske Rose. This other kinde of Muske Rose (which with some is called the white Damaske Muske, but more truely the double white Cinamon Rose) hath his stemme and branches also shorter then the former [R. moschata], but as greene : the leaves are fomewhat larger, and of a whiter greene colour ; the flowers also are fomewhat larger then the former double kinde, but (landing in umbels after the same manner, or somewhat thicker, and of the same whitish colour, or a little whiter, and somewhat, although but a little, neare the smell of the other, but nothing so strong. This flowreth at the time of other Roses, or somewhat later, yet much before the former two sorts of Muske Rofes, which flower not untill the end of Summer, and in Autumne ; both which things, that is, the tme of the flowring, and the sent being both different, shew plainly it cannot be of the tribe of the Muske Roses.
