Music Box is sold as a compact shrub, but it's quite large in my garden, about 4 feet tall and 6 feet wide. It is a phototropic rose, so the bloom color is quite changeable. It's usually a pale yellow or cream with discreet pink edges, but the pink becomes more pronounced when the rose experiences hot sunshine for most of the day, to a point at which the blooms appear to be pink with yellow tinges. The rose is highly resistant to disease, as are all of Ping Lim's roses in my garden. After the rainy season ends in spring, almost every rose in my garden suffers from black spot, but the foliage of Music Box and my other Ping Lim roses stays clean and healthy all year.
