I'm afraid many of the photos here do NOT show Pemberton's "Moonlight" - which is (as far as I know) not pink (not even soft) and only semi-double.

I agree. Likewise, many of the photos do not show the purple tinged foliage with silver reverse that is characteristic of Pemberton's 'Moonlight'.

For me, the main identifying characteristic of 'Moonlight' has been the "dark claret red" of the wood, as mentioned in the 1914 reference.

A very, very beautiful and vigorous rose! But be careful if you are looking for a "small moss", suitable for small gardens. I bought and planted it in 2008, expecting a maximum height of about 1 m .....In 2011 it was about 2 m high, with a width of about 1,5 m. A rather beautiful - but definetely no tiny rose!!

I waited several years to get this rose. In Coastal Georgia US, full blistering sun, this thing has turned out to be a monster! Yes, it is the correct rose. 5x5, bushy, arching, and still going even after severe pruning mid summer in it's first year in the ground. Scattered flowers throughout the summer. Only fed it once. 100% disease free for me so it is a keeper for another spot. I expected a nice tidy compact plant also, but it has overtaken it's spot along with that of several other roses. Fragrance is just Heavenly!

I keep this rose in a big container on a balcony facing south in zone 8a. Survived winter temperatures of - 14°C without protection - and without any damage.
Is rather susceptible to mildew - I have never seen it without mildew, in fact.
And it's very floriferous - but it's only with luck that it opens the buds completely. Every bud is a promise - but seldom kept.

LOVE your comment because this is my experience so far. Bought one last fall, it overwintered in my greenhouse shockingly mildew free.............I am in 6a/we had no "winter" this year............outside it goes............suddenly, outside, mildew all over but the plant is strong, it is hearty, it has been warm to even hot here in Columbus but not THAT humid...............here we go: 7 strong gorgeous buds. NONE opened. NONE. NOT ONE. Books all say this one LOVES Las Vegas. I guess that is about all it COULD love! 0% humidity? The plant itself is so strong but the mildew, now checked, caught my attention in a bad way and the fact it cannot OPEN a bloom here in Columbus in May? Yeah.........it can ride out the summer but being a tea, I will let it, um, stay in its pot here until, um, yeah..............January..........that ought to let nature take its course..............why is this one so famous anyway????

When it's good it's very very good, but when it's bad, it's horrid ...
I culled mine long ago, even though I was collecting Teas.

Margaret, one of the blooms that actually did almost open was so ugly I literally think I gasped.....meanwhile, good ol' Safrano is incredible. Beautiful little apricot rose, blows open and fades, but holding its own amazingly at 173 years old! And Rosette Delizy has yet to bloom but looks promising, my little band was so small when I got it in March but it growing well and looks promising.......I have a tea seedling that I grew, collected from in front of the Mission Santa Barbara....have told Kim about it, seems to be a natural hybrid possibly with Souv d'Elise Vardon as the Mother (I just put all the hips together so I have no idea)....anyway, that one LOVES my greenhouse room and got me interested in teas here in 6a...........

Hello,
after I've signed in and kept the window open without doing something on the HMF site - it kicks me out after a short while (less than an hour). I have to sign in again.
Cookies are generally accepted by my browser (Firefox), I additionally have marked the web address of HMF as "always allowed" - but the problem stays the same.
How can I stay signed in, at least for the active session?
Thank you!

Logging one out after an extended period of inactivity is typical of most websites. It shouldn't really be an issue because of the "Auto sign in feature" in HMF. Can you contact the support department directly with more details so they can better understand what changes might be necessary. And thanks for taking the time to contact us about this issue.
