Rose Paul's Himalayan Musk - Rambling Rose

One of the best and loveliest of midsummer-flowering rambler roses, Rosa Paul's Himalayan Musk is a very large, vigorous, deciduous rambling rose, with long, flexible, thorny shoots and lustrous, light green foliage. In midsummer, it is almost covered with delicate, pendent sprays of small, fully double, rosette-shaped, blush-pink flowers, with a strong, musky, Old Rose scent. This stunning rose is tolerant of poorer soil and shade, so is perfect for planting through a sturdy tree – choose one with an open habit so that you can appreciate the glorious midsummer display. Will also cover an ugly building, but it does need a lot of room. Healthy and vigorous, rambler rose Paul's Himalayan Musk holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
