The scent of a rose

June 6th, 2008 · No Comments

First up is Darlow’s Enigma. This one is still quite small but it has an awesome scent.

Ok Eric says that the name rose is much to dainty for this one. I believe his exact word was ‘strangler’. This Paul’s Himalayan Musk rose is on it’s third year. It gets full sun early in the season but is shaded once the sassafras tree leafs out. It is about 10-12′ tall now but with full sun (and the lack of hungry deer) would have been much taller by now. This is the first year it has flowered and the scent is great. I am looking forward to many more years with this guy.
