Rosa 'Paul's Himalayan musk' buds open pink and fade to creamy white. It was at the Castle of Galeazza, climbing up and over an Albizia tree, flowering its heart out ten years ago when the eathquakes brought down the tower. During the autumn of 2012, when we were settling into Corte Eremo, a gardener friend from the UK asked "Were you able to take your roses?" I mentioned those that I had moved and those I left behind. In the winter, a package arrived from David Austin Roses, and the few I had left behind (including this rose) were inside. Thank you Pete and Ava. 😍 #roses #roseidentification #rosapaulshimalayanmusk #davidaustinroses #gardensinitaly #gardenerfriends #10yearslater #earthquakes #ruralitaly #castellodigaleazza #startingover #newgarden #newlife #gabriellabuccioli #corteeremo #mezzogiardiniere #gardengifts #readingretreatsinruralitaly #associazioneculturalereadingretreatsinruralitaly (presso La Macchina Fissa) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cdpli-nofdT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
