Named by workers in this all-volunteer maintained garden.

Growing into a walnut tree with some canes approaching 50'

Most probably a complex chance cross between one of the Heritage's Moschata hybrids and a Multiflora hybrid.

In 2003, it bloomed from mid-May until mid-August.

A bit hard to propagate from cuttings, however it tiproots if canes are laying on the ground.
