" 'Menja' Hybrid Musk
Origin: Petersen, Denmark, 1960
Flower Size: 0.8in (2 cm)
Scent: Light & musky
Flowering: Repeats well
Height/Spread: 6.6 ft (2m)/6.6 ft (2m)
Hardiness: Zone 5
Native to Scandinavia, occasionally in Germany, unknown elsewhere. Distinctive flowers, so tightly cupped they appear bell-shaped and never open out. Said to be a hybrid musk, but is very different from others. buds are pale crimson, open to pink, darker backs, fade to white in heat. Do not drop petals, long airy sprays 20 - 40 flowers. In Autumn clusters are much larger, up to 100 flowers, long arching sprays. Healthy light green leaves, short prickles, tiny orange hips. Good pillar rose in warm climates."

Just uploaded a photo of Menja and inadvertently added a comment relevant to a previous upload. Could you please delete the bit about magnolia leaves?

Thank you, Patricia. (I remember with pleasure meeting you on a rose tour in Tasmania.)

Yes. I remember well that you liked Stirmer (spelling?) apples.
I am so happy that I did at least one tour in my lifetime with David Ruston.

Wasn't it great? But you are an inspiring teacher yourself.
