This is probably my favorite of the old-world Hybrid Musks. It is very charming, very easy to grow, blooms a lot, and smells nice. It also looks the part of a musk-type (unlike, for example, Ballerina, a hybrid multiflora classed as a hybrid musk).

The parentage, however, seems wrong, but everything states that this is correct. My seedlings from this rose also suggested that the male parent was not so likely.

ALL seedlings produced from Danae x various male parents resulted in very dainty growth, angular stems, and musk/china-like foliage. Some seedlings showed chlorophyll, however, which makes me wonder about Pernetiana background, rather than repeat blooming OGRs. The seedling shown here is Danae x Leonie Lamesch, and it is a 4' x 4' ball, that is completely void of LL's stiff canes. Again, suggesting why I question the given male parent of Danae.
