Awe.... what a cute rose! From the breeders pictures on HMF, it looks as if it can be grown as a climber. Vaporvac - can you post pics of yours? Hybrid musks are one of my favorite type of roses, and I like that they grow well in my zone 9/10 climate, and also evidently in your zone 6 climate. Nice to have some roses which overlap the warm climate and the colder climate gardeners!

That really is a really striking rose! I love it!

I am still hoping that Vaporvac will see this and post pics of the one growing in their garden.

Sorry guys! I dont know why some of my notifications go to Spam and others dont. Here a pic of EJ when I first got her.

Pics of her today. She has many buds and foliage to rival any Kordes rose. We have rain all the time and she has perfect health. She could go in the ground now, but Ill enjoy her in a pot until Fall. Ill be sure to post when these buds open. I wish someone else grew her. Her growth habit and HMF suggest a tall plant with typical HM growth habit so I wonder if she can be trained as a climber or is best left natural as a tall arching bush. I wish I had taken note of her at FreedomGardens, but my DH spied her in the For Sale section before leaving. Ill have to get there earlier next year.

Please click to see detail in all pics.

I should not have turned on my computer this morning - now I have TWO roses that I suddenly want- both hybrid musks. Going to look up Emma June on HMF right now -

@jacqueline9CA,I kindly supplied you with the link above! LOL! She would look charming next to Walferdange BTW, Freedom Gardens carries both ot these from time to time. His plants come late for me, but for CA it should be a much better time to sheperd them through the winter. Ive never lost one, however, even with direct planting.

Couple of pics I found from when I first got her and some from this morning.

From this morning:

Vapor, I love this pretty and appealing Emma June, and I love her doppelganger, Dainty Bess. I agree that hybrid musks do well in the hot and dry and everywhere in between. My Ballerina loves it here, and she's 18 years old. Diane

Yay! Another HM lover! I have a soft spot for Ballerina also as shes fought to thrive in a crappy shady location and brings a touch of freshness to it. She initially struggled with BS, but has completely overcome it now!

The pictures of Emma June are super pretty. But it looks like only one person has it.

Yes! The breeder and myself!!! I was so hoping there were others lurking. Maybe in the future.
