MOSSES......these sported from a Centifolia and have out growths called moss. This is a glandular mutation which appears as tiny extensions with resin on the tips which is sticky to the touch. Bushes range from small to tall pillar types. Some repeat with a few late blooms and some are prone to black spot. Moss roses do better with lots of water and their roots mulched as this discourages mildew which many are prone to.
