Numb. X X V I . Double-white Musk Rose. This is the Virginia Cluster Rose, which will bring long Spikes of Flowers, to the Number of an hundred, or two, or three, and sometimes many more; I have computed above seven hundred Flowers and Buds on one Sprig, at Mr. Topham's at Windsor. The Plant is propagated like the Cinnamon Rose, Numb. I. in the Month of May.

Rosa alba muscata sine spinis, Syn. The white Cluster Rose without Spines. This grows in most Respects like the Rosa muscata multiplex, but the Umbels of Flowers which this brings are surprising, I having seen one Truss or Cluster of Flowers of this Sort at Mr. Topham's, at Windsor, which had above a thousand Buds upon it, as I computed, by counting those upon one of its Sprigs, which had seventy seven Buds ; the Cluster had above twenty Sprigs of flower Buds, which were very distinct, and I believe amounted to more than I mention. The Flowers are indifferently double, and the Tree continues flowering from July to the End of November.
