Re: Rosa 'Paul's Himalayan Musk Rambler'

Rosa 'Zephirine Drouhin', supposedly smells of raspberries, while R. 'High
Hopes' reportedly has a strong Strawberry fragrance.  From the link below,
you'll see that ZD is an old variety, perhaps considered antique.  It wasn't
a choice initially, but I needed to select a replacement quickly and asked
about disease resistance, etc, considering it's not a new variety.  The
sales person assured me it was highly resistant.  Well, according to NCSU,
"prone to mildew, rust and blackspots", so we'll just have to wait and see.

High Hopes, on the other hand was a first choice, a relatively new rose
Introduced: England in Hertfordshire 1992, disease resistant.
