Rosa brunonii/Rosa brunonii Lindl./Rosa brownii Tratt./Rosa moschata var nepalensis Lindl./nom commun: rosier musqué de l’Himalaya = Himalaya et de l’Afghanistan au Népal, introduit en 1822… description… La rusticité de Rosa brunonii ne lui permet pas de vivre sous tous les climats. Ayant une végétation longue, il lui faut des étés longs pour aoûter convenablement ses pousses de l’année, et les mettre, ainsi, en mesure de résister aux hivers froids…

R. brunonii Lind. A deciduous or semi-evergreen climber reaching to the tops of lofty trees in the Himalaya and to about 40 ft high in gardens. Leaves up to 7 or 8 in. long, with five to nine leaflets, rachis prickly and glandular. Leaflets ovate-lanceolate...acute...mostly 2 to 3 in. long...upper surface dull or lustrous green...underside green or whitish, usually hairy, at least on the veins...Flowers pale yellow in bud, opening white, 1½ to 1¾ in. across, borne in the second half of June or early July, arranged in corymbose clusters usually higher than wide, several clusters often united into a large compound inflorescence....which may be feet across...fruits roundish...Native to the Himalyan region...extending to China (Yunnan and W. Szechwan)...introduced by Wallich in 1822...What was probably the Wallich introduction still grew at Kew...until the 1960s...
A Chinese form of R. brunonii was introduced by Wilson in 1908....and the fine form in commerce as 'La Mortola' may be of this provenance....
Until the 1880's R. brunonii was grown under its correct name. But in 1879 the Belgian rhodoologist Crépin, then the world authority on Rosa, published a paper in which R. brunonii was sunk in R. moschata....R. brunonii is perhaps closer to R. moschata than any of [the other Synstylae], but not by much.

R. Moschata and R. brunonii
..... The supplanter of the Musk Rose appears to be R. brunonii. This is a vigorous plant, notable for its leaves, which are coppery red when young, and apt to point downwards.  It is a plant which bears so much foliage, you think it might choke itself. It bears creamy white flowers in great abundance about midsummer.  I grew it at Hitchin quite successfully in the open, despite its reputation of being tender. 
  Another complication for the future is growing up in regard to R. brunonii. Its name is given in Modern Roses as R. moschata nepalensis or the Himalayan Musk Bose. We have in the Royal National Rose Society's gardens a wonderful  plant labelled 'Paul's Himalayan Musk', which is nothing like R. brunonii having duller and smaller foliage, as if it had met R. multiflora in its career; it is blessed with the greatest sweep of blossom one can imagine, a multitude of tiny flowers, pale, with a touch of lilac pink in them.

Frank Mason, NZ.  Species and Hybrids. 
The Moschatas are numerous, and some of them are well worth growing where there is plenty of room. So far I have not been able to find a common source, and I fancy they are variations. Moschata v. Brunoniana is well worth growing for its scent and fruits, which the birds do not seem to care for, so are allowed to ripen on the plant. It is not a Rose that can be grown in a small backyard; it must have plenty of room.
