More about Moss Roses:
Moss Roses first appeared as mutations of Centifolia roses in 1720, in which the sepal, calyx and stems have a mossy growth. This is particularly attractive in the bud stage and has a noticeable balsam-like fragrance when touched. Later repeat flowering and more compact hybrids evolved from the Damask roses, although these do tend to be rather less mossy. Very popular with the Victorians who relished such curiosities.
Blanche Moreau has lovely pure white full blooms which open from buds covered with brownish moss. It’s an upright shrub, with beautifully dark green leaves. A summer flowering Moss rose.
Pruning Guide: Requires little pruning except for the removal of very old wood once established (after flowering) and perhaps the shortening of any growths by one third in February.
