'The Garland' looks fantastic @Pete.8, beautifully displayed. I have never seen this rose other than in catalogues and your photos show it so well.
I'm glad you posted this as it confirms once and for all that the rose planted here a long time ago was mis-labelled. I suspected it was 'Paul's Himalayan Musk' it was so rampant, certainly too overwhelming for the damson tree and then pergola we built for it! Eventually I'd had enough of trying to manage it, the pergola was collapsing and I 'retired' both. If only it had been 'The Garland'...... One example of the problems brought about by wrongly labelled plants! Yours must look stunning with the hips later on.
Funny you should say that @Woodgreen I was considering Paul's Himalayan Musk as a possibility before I bought The Garland. I'm so glad I bought the latter I'll try and remember to post a pic when it's laden with hips
Many years ago the pergola was covered in Frances E Lester. Sadly it had to go when I had the area behind landscaped-
