Notice

Colin Mills, compiler of the Hortus Camdenensis, died in late November 2012 after a short illness. As he always considered the Hortus his legacy, it is his family's intention to keep the site running in perpetuity. It will not, however, be updated in the near future.

Rosa ‘Gloire des Mousseux’

Damask Moss rose.  An upright rose with carmine red flowers with a salmon pink centre.  Although mainly summer flowering, it will occasionally produce autumn blooms.  To 1.3m.  [Paul (1863, 1888), Rivers (1857, 1863), Amat].

 

 

Horticultural & Botanical History

History at Camden Park

Included in a handwritten list of roses dated 1861, probably intended for a new edition of the catalogue that was never printed.  [MP A2943].
