Zone 9a Houston, TX. I have 2 of these roses and they are definitely worth getting. The foliage itself smells good but the roses have a highly strong fragrance in my opinion, and they’re really pretty. The only downside on my end is that the blooms lost their petals after a couple days and it’s not a frequent bloomer. Mine is still young so Im hoping in a year or two it’ll put out enough blooms that I won’t cling to each bloom so much. I would buy it over again.

Old Garden Roses, such as Quatre Saisons Blanc Mousseux, need at least one year old wood to produce blooms. Last year it produced three blossoms, which was a blessing as I was not expecting any. Instead, I tried to get this rose growing, producing basal breaks, laterals, and becoming established. By doing that throughout last year, it is now covered in mossy buds. It survived a harsh Winter and is thriving. I never raised this particular Moss Rose before, so I do not know exactly what to expect. I am familiar with Moss Roses in general and know that some need support others do not. I am growing to highly appreciate this specimen, with its scented foliage and white blooms. The only other white Moss Rose we have is White Bath 1817 — Jonathan Salter. Of all of the Old Garden Roses, the Moss Rose happens to be my favourite. Both nonrecurrent and recurrent types. I am impressed how this rose withstood the harsh Winter temperatures without any protection. The Moss trait seems to bring about a bushel of thorns. The moss on the buds of this specimen is quite thick. When the buds begin to open, being covered in moss, it gives it an extra touch. It makes it more beautiful. Legend of the Moss Rose: One day the Angel, who each day brings dew on her wings, feeling weary asked the Rose for shelter for the night. On awakening, she asked how this hospitality might be repaid. The Rose answered, “Make me even more beautiful.” “What grace,” said the Angel, “can I give to the most beautiful of all flowers?” Meditating this request, she cast her eyes down to the mossy bed from which the Rose sprang and, gathering some, placed it on the young buds. Thus was born the Moss Rose.
