The Province Rose, one of the oldest species of rose, has been cultivated since 1750. Its delicately scented fragrance is one of the main suppliers of rose oil, a base of most perfumes. Believed to be a natural alteration of the Province Rose, the Moss Rose is like its parent in scent, color, and vigor. The growth of fine sticky glands covering stem and buds give a moss-like appearance to the plant and result in its being called Moss Rose. This delicate rose, a faorite among collectors of old roses, flowers only in summer on a bush that grows to a height of five to six feet.

This painting originally appeared on the Fleetwood® First Day Cover for the Switzerland Moss Rose stamp Flora and Fauna of the World Collection issued November 28, 1977.
