Rosa mensalis, or Monthly Rose, otherwise, Rosa Damascena Polyanthos, The Cluster Damask Rose. This plant, in the Manner of its Growth, is in every Respect like the Damask Rose-Tree, but differs in the Manner of producing its Flowers, this bearing its Roses in Clusters, sometimes bringing fifteen, eighteen, or twenty Flowers in a Bunch. It is most commonly known by the Name of the monthly Rose, from its continued Disposition to blossom, even in the most violent Winter-Season, and by a little Assistance of Shelter, I have seen good Flower-Buds upon it at Christmas, when the Season has not been extreme Cold. This does very well for Forcing, either by Means of Fire or Dung, and is that which Mr. Millett, Nursery-Man at North-End uses upon that Occasion. The Flowers are of the same Colour, and as double as the Damask Rose, and is as agreeable to the Smell.

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.
