We moved into this house nine years ago and the garden was really bare. A friend of ours had a beautiful rose in her garden which we had much admired. She gave us the same rose as a moving in gift. It was about three feet high at the time and is called Paul’s Himalayan Musk.
Nine years on it is absolutely stunning. It is very fast growing and has masses of dainty flowers and doesn’t seem to suffer from aphids and black spot like other roses in the garden. The flowers don’t last very long though. At the moment half of the buds have opened so I thought I would photograph it now and then again in a few days time when it reaches it’s peak.
Half the buds on the rose are now open
It’s going to be amazing
Close up the flowers are two shades of pink
It is beautiful
It rambles along the side fence towards the front of the house
Every year we are stunned by how amazing this rose is. It is one of the highlights of summer in our garden.

Your rose looks amazing.
It is amazing and it hasn’t quite reached it’s peak yet. It also smalls lovely too.
Wow. So pretty. We built a small fence this year and planted a few climbing roses on it but they are covered in rust and black spot and I’m thinking those might have to be swapped out for something else.
It’s odd because we have several roses that were already in this garden when we moved in and they all suffer every year with aphids, black spot and rust spot despite spraying them. Yet this rose we put in when we moved in and it never suffers from these things which is just as well because it’s too big to spray. I think it is just the best of roses.
