Moonlight Rose

I bought my first Moonlight rose after a serious bout of rose research. I wanted to grow roses other than the very modern ones, and the Hybrid Musks appealed as roses suited to a country garden.

My rose readings had suggested certain roses could be grown up and into trees. I really liked this idea, and Moonlight seemed an ideal tree-climbing rose. The Apple Tree Garden had three old fruit trees in it which weren't too big. So in (and up) went three Moonlight roses.

Apart from trying to prune out the dead wood I ignore the Moonlight roses. They are all grown on their own roots, too.
