Lyda Rose
Hybrid Musk
Origin - Lettunich, 1994
Parentage - seedling of 'Francis E. Lester'
Color - White/Pink/Gold stamens
Foliage - Dark green
Thorns - Moderate
Size - 4' - 5' h. x 4' - 5' w. (shrub)
Fragrance - Strong, spicy
Repeat bloom - Yes
Disease resistance - Good
Hardiness - Zone 6
The Name of the Rose - Named after the breeder's daughter and the song from "Music Man."
I forget that this is a hybrid musk rose because it is so different from most roses in that class. Large clusters of pale white blooms edged with lavender pink seem to float above dark green foliage on a robust 4' x 4' shrub. They remind me of the blossoms of the dogwood tree. The growth is angular with strong stems, unlike the narrow, dense branches of most hybrid musk roses. This rose performs well with limited sun. I have it placed in an area which receives no sun at all after 1 p.m. and it blooms exceedingly well. Nice strong fragrance and no disease problems as of yet. Highly recommended.
