[From "Why Moss Roses", by Ivy Bodin, pp. 22-23]
'William Lobb’ (Old Velvet Moss). This one is spectacular with lovely bloom form and shades of purple and lilac and blue. The mossy buds are quite a show, and the bloom very interesting as it fades through shades of color. Besides, it has a nice fragrance. The buds with their moss also have that special resinous fragrance. It is a very productive bush although gangly, throwing out long, sidewise canes.
