Boule de Neige
Comments (8)Krista, I always love your plonks! Boule de Neige is soooo... pretty! Looking at your pics I feel confirmed in my opinion that there is something very special about white roses that can hardly be expressed in words. I am glad that Boule de Neige does already so well for you in her first year in your garden. I wonder what she would think about living in Southern California...

Comments (10)I had a friend who volunteered in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden -- not a rose lover particularly -- and she couldn't get over the fantastic fragrance of Coquette des Blanches which she smelled while she and a few others were moving it from one part of the garden to another. (One of the photo contributors on Helpmefind suggests that this rose resents pruning.) Martha Stewart likes Boule de Neige, though. It appears to have more purely white, tea-like, scrolled flowers and larger, darker foliage -- if one can judge from the pictures. Both are beautiful....See MoreBoule de Neige or Variegata di Bologna in the PNW
Comments (4)I live and garden at the very bottom of South Puget sound. I suspect that our weather conditions are quite similar. My favorite Bourbon is Souv de St Anne. Mine has just completed her second summer here. 3' tall by 2'[ wide and deep. She gets some BS late October. The rest of the time she is clean. I have her planted in a protected area. Yesterday I surrounded her base with a mulch coverring to help her through our so far easy winter. cl. Souv. de MalMaison is another rose which flourishes here. She is planted next to cl. Cecile Brunner. The plan is to intertwine the branches so that there are usually blooms peeking out.Both bushes have finished their first summer herw. I cant ccomment about the two Bourbons you are looking to grow as I dont grow them. Good luck in what you choose. Jeannie...See MoreBoule de Neige or maybe not?
Comments (11)Thank you, Ingrid. Let's hope she likes Seattle. ;) This garden is in the front of the house, between my car and house - it was literally a giant pile of rocks last summer - and now when I get out of my car I can smell roses just from the one bloom, so that will buy her a little extra grace. :). Carol - your clematis is beautiful. I bought one at the end of last summer (diamantina) to climb up my tree and thought I lost it over the winter, but lo and behold, two beautiful blooms amid the blackberry canes I was pulling out. ;) I'm excited to get it off the ground and back up on the tree trunk. ;)...See Moreodinthor
