‘Bishop Darlington’ is an American Hybrid Musk, introduced by Captain G. C. Thomas in 1926. It conforms to expectations for the class, being a fine arching bush about 2 metres (6 feet) tall with sprays of 8 centimetre (3 inch) flowers, shapely in their coral-pink buds and loosely informal in their open blooms in blush and cream. They are borne throughout the season and have the classic musk scent. Foliage is softly bronzed. ‘Aviateur Bleriot’ x Moonlight’. Repeat flowering. Fragrant.

Not all hybridists who have developed hybrid musks followed the same pattern of breeding. A very satisfactory hybrid musk rose, 'Bishop Darlington', which I grew for several years, is a cross between one of Pemberton's roses and a rambler; from the latter parent it got some Rosa wichuraiana blood and another admixture of noisette blood, presumably thus reinforcing the musk rose characteristics. 'Bishop Darlington' looks almost wholly different from the other musk roses. It bears its blooms singly but in considerable number on a moderate-sized bush. The flowers are almost single, quite large, and go through an interesting color change; the opening buds are cherry red; as the blooms open wider, they turn to a flesh pink tinged with yellow. The are sweetly fragrant and the bush is never wholly without them. It and the hybrid rugosa 'Delicata', which grew next to it, were the last roses to quit blooming in our garden each fall, and then only when hard frosts occurred.
