Hybrid musk rose (Rosa 'Mozart') ROE-sah Genus:  Rosa This profuse bloomer produces enormous sprays of small, single pink blooms with white centers and dark reddish-pink edges. While it lacks fragrance, it is disease free, and if left alone, produces orange hips. It grows 5 feet tall and up to 8 feet wide, making it ideal for training up a wall, arch, or trellis. It blooms from spring to autumn.  Noteworthy Characteristics:  Profuse flowers; disease free; orange hips. Care:  Grow in fertile, moist, well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. Provide good air circulation and remove fallen leaves to help prevent disease.  Prune lightly or back by up to one-third, reducing side shoots by one-half to one-third. To renovate, prune one in four or five shoots from the base. Propagation:  Take softwood cuttings when bloom initiates in spring to summer; take hardwood cuttings in fall.
