The Victorian State Rose Garden at Werribee grow this rose. Ask them for a cutting or two. If you grow any rose by seed, it may not be exactly the same as the parent rose. (A different pollen parent may produce something entirely different.). Let me know of you have problems.

I think Werribee has restrictions on cuttings going out. There is a Heritage Roses member in SA who grows it, or what is known by that name in Aus. If you send me a private message I can give you her contact details.

There are are no descendants listed for this plant. Are there really no descendants of Pauls Himalayan Musk known? It germinates very easily and just now I have about 50 young seedlings of this year (2013)

Is your rose pale pink, or white? I am wondering if you have R. brunonni, the seeds of which come up like grass

Hi Patricia, thanks for your reply. There is not much colour in my plant. Flowers are white to faint pink, however they are very double and brunonii flowers are not double. But your expression "the seeds of which come up like grass" characterizes this plant quite well. ;-) Actually I overlooked the earlier posting from Wernersen from Berlin having seedlings of PHM as well. Seedsetting and germination here in Germany seems to be not a rare event.
As mentioned in these posts it might be that PHMs offspring is simply not that interesting and not worth talking about.
So I am going to keep the seedlings but without special care. Survival of the fittest.

I've heard before of a German, who sowed seeds of the Paul's Himalayan Musk Rambler and those germinated like weeds, but they were all lookalikes of the original rose (selflings?) Maybe You need some more generations, to get something different after pollinating the successive generations Yourselves with the pollen of the plants of YOUR choice. Good luck and enjoy the process!

Sadly this rose is terribly prone to mildew in dry years.

After several years of very healthy growth my two PHM plants showed quite havy mildew infestation last year and this year as well. Plants grow thrue it well, but do not look nice and flowers are impaired partly. I the beginning I thought PHM was completly resistant, so I am bit disapointed now, but PHM is still a great cultivar and a wonder to look at as it covers gardenhuts and half houses in clouds of flowers.

My neighbour a few houses further in the street has this rose too. In our garden the rose can get as high as it wants and is high up into the sky and healthy. But in the neighbours garden, space is limited to a rose-arch (the rest is pruned off)... and almost no air circulation => Lots of mildew and even black-spot as well.

Yes microclimatic conditions do play a role certainly. One is partly unter a roof but starts growing over the roof in about 6m hight, the other grows over a small gardenhut. The one on the house is more affected. The other part is probably inoculum, I am suspecting the susceptible American Pillar to produce enough mildew spores to infestate even the rather tolerant PHM.
