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. Further explanation.
