[From "Danish Heritage Roses", by Jens Otto Pedersen, pp. 21-23]
The hybrid musk ʻMenja’ (Kiftsgate × Eva (Hybrid Musk, Kordes, 1933) was introduced in 1960. Its clusters of small shimmering pink flowers are extremely charming and will fit in with almost any other rose. During the World Rose Convention in Lyon in 2015 I saw a most impressive specimen in La Bonne Maison, Odile Masquelier’s spectacular garden. The rose is named after a giantess from the Nordic mythology.
