More information
Hybrid Musk is a Rambler with vigorous growth and healthy dark green foliage, producing clusters of small flowers with pink-tinged edges. The fragrance is pronounced and intensifies toward evening. Tolerates poor soils and shade. Blooms once but for an extended period (1–2 months). Bears masses of small orange hips in autumn. Often used to cover structures and areas requiring screening. Cultivated in European gardens for many years and grown by rose growers worldwide.
