Musk Roses and hybrids, propagated and grown by Azalea House Flowering Shrub Farm in Albany County, NY. with links to pictures (when available). Our Plant sale is May 15 to July 4; 10 AM to 2 PM. Click here for more info. The origin of the hybrid Musk is credited to the Reverend Joseph Pemberton who bred roses from his home in Havering-atte-Bower, Essex and a Nurseryman in Trier, Germany; Peter Lambert. Pemberton crossed Lamberts 'Aglaia' and 'Trier' (a multiflora-noisette) with hybrid tea's and perpetuals producing a number of roses in the early twentieth (20th) century at first referred to as Lambertiannas later changed to hybrid Musks. In modern Europe these are included with Noisettes. Click the blue link for available pictures. An inventory of roses can be found in my rose catalog linked from my Home page.
