A friend of ours had a beautiful rose in her garden which we had much admired. She gave us the same rose as a moving in gift. It was about three feet high at the time and is called Paul&#8217;s Himalayan Musk.<\/p>\n<p>Nine years on it is absolutely stunning. It is very fast growing and has masses of dainty flowers and doesn&#8217;t seem to suffer from aphids and black spot like other roses in the garden. The flowers don&#8217;t last very long though. At the moment half of the buds have opened so I thought I would photograph it now and then again in a few days time when it reaches it&#8217;s peak.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15676\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=15676\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-15676\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15676\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15676\" src=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/the_rose_is_half_out.jpg\" alt=\"Half the buds on the rose are now open\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/the_rose_is_half_out.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/the_rose_is_half_out-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/the_rose_is_half_out-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-15676\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Half the buds on the rose are now open<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_15677\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=15677\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-15677\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15677\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15677\" src=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/it_is_going_to_be_amazing.jpg\" alt=\"It's going to be amazing\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/it_is_going_to_be_amazing.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/it_is_going_to_be_amazing-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/it_is_going_to_be_amazing-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-15677\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">It&#8217;s going to be amazing<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_15678\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=15678\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-15678\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15678\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15678\" src=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/a_close_up.jpg\" alt=\"Close up the flowers are two shades of pink\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/a_close_up.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/a_close_up-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/a_close_up-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-15678\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Close up the flowers are two shades of pink<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_15679\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=15679\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-15679\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15679\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15679\" src=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/its_beautiful.jpg\" alt=\"It is beautiful\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/its_beautiful.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/its_beautiful-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/its_beautiful-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-15679\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">It is beautiful<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_15680\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=15680\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-15680\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15680\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15680\" src=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/side_fence.jpg\" alt=\"It rambles along the side fence towards the front of the house\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/side_fence.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/side_fence-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/side_fence-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-15680\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">It rambles along the side fence towards the front of the house<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Every year we are stunned by how amazing this rose is.
