How To Care For Rosa Paul's Himalayan Musk
This rambling rose is popular not only for its beauty and scent but for its tough nature. It can take care of itself once established, and provided there is support it will grow unchecked with speed. It will grow along the ground too, or as a dense shrub. Rose Paul's Himalayan Musk is a great choice of climber for a gardener that loves delicate pink shades and has a large area to cover. Pruning is not necessary, but you can contain the height with winter pruning. Be aware that rambling roses flower on old wood, so cut back with enough time for new shoots to grow before the next year. New plants will need water until they are established and a thick layer of rotted manure in early spring will strengthen roots and produce a stunning display of flowers. 

If you need a climber that is low maintenance and beautiful this is a top choice. Rambling Rose Paul's Himalayan Musk never fails to delight with its magnificent scented flower display and all the charm of a traditional English cottage garden.
