This is one of several itinerant hybrid musks in my own garden. It never wows, but it has survived three moves, drought, critters, and shade - putting it ahead of Cornelia and Nur Mahal. In three years it has produced a total of perhaps twelve nice, silky, single flowers three and a half inches across. Given ideal conditions it will do better. Yet I can never find the ideal site.
ARS members give it a 7.5. It's trouble-free with flowers that are single, large, silky textured, and fragrant. It's the only rose that comes to mind with this exact set of specifications so it has a unique place in many gardens. |
