This rose is very much in keeping with the Hybrid Musk style and has a lovely scent.

Notes:
The color changes as each bloom opens and matures, to give a multicolor effect, something like Black Hills Gold. After a year or so, I can also observe that this rose is impervious to powdery mildew and rust, and that the fragrance is outstanding. The habit is pleasingly arching and graceful.
