I was looking for Paul’s Himalayan Musk Rose. Is this the same rose? There is information about it here: https://www.gardenia.net/plant/rose-pauls-himalayan-musk

No, you need to look for Paul's Himalayan Musk Rambler.

RHODOLOGIA: A discourse on roses, and the odour of rose (1844) Rose Perfumes John Charles Sawer
In R. Brunonii, Lindl. (a moss variety of R. moschata, Miller), the hispido-glandulous system which thickly covers the pedicels and sepals, develops a fine odour of pinks.

What zones can the rosa moschata be grown in?

Rosa moschata is a tender rose and must be well protected in the winter in zone 8. Zone 9 is ideal for it .

i'm confused. thought i had identified a rose as moschata. the main description indicates a hardiness of z4-10. however, post from o rosarian (not someone you would doubt) says rose is extremely tender, ie z 9-10. which is accurate? does anyone know individual bloom size? thanks in advance, christie

If you are confused then you are in good company ,Graham Stuart Thomas was also confused. He writes that many horticulturists in the early days,labeled musk rose or rosa moschata incorrectly when they was describing rosa brunonii and rosa dupontii. The original musk rose was a native of the Pyrnees but has long been lost to cultivation. A variety can be found in England . One of the features of this rose in defining whether or not it is a true musk, is when it blooms. Apparently musk roses only bloom at the end of summer and into autumn. The only other rose blooming then is the Autumn Damask. So all that said, it looks like it depends where the rose originated and therefore could be much hardier than I said. I bow my head in humility.

thank you for your response. given the further information you provided, regardless of zone, my rose cannot be moschata as it was a spring bloomer. i was not aware that true musks bloomed only in the autumn. unusual i would think. although, it would then make sense that moschata was in fact a warm zone rose. a more temperate zone would be able to provide the additional time (from august bloom) needed to set fruit. thanking you, christie
