"These roses, originally a sport of the Centifolia, bear on their flower-stems and sepals a mutation of the glands making it appear as if a green or reddish-brown moss were growing there, adding a unique delicacy to the buds. In this group can be found some deep crimsons, lacking among the regular Centifolias; this is possibly due to some hybridization involving crimson China roses. `Common Moss', `Gloire des Mousseux', `William Lobb', `Deuil de Paul Fontaine', `Striped Moss'."
