Thanks Windeaux, so it is. I had done a search on Vintage and came up with nothing, but just now found it by going down the list. It's listed under "Hybrid Teas - Custom Root". Thank you also for linking the thread on the discussion of "St. Helena Cemetery Very Double HT". I was going to say that it answers my original question, that is IF "Arcadia Louisiana Tea" is the same rose. Evidently Vintage doesn't think they are the same as he still lists both roses separately. Also describes their bush sizes as different. However, "Arcadia Louisiana Tea" is certainly close to the rose I have, especially if you allow for differences in climate. Plus roses can 'morph', so to speak. For instance, the Prairie Sunrise I got from Sam Kedem years ago has many more petals and tends to quarter where the specimen from Chamblees does not. All in all I'm very glad to get this much information. Thank you all so much!

You really do not have to cover these type of bananas, unless your temps get close to freezing.I live in zone9b,and the only time i ever cover my bananasis when the weather man says it going to be in the 30's for overnight lows.I use tarps to wrap around the pseudostem.I also remove the tarps every morning.Its a lot of workbut its worth it.If you want fruit next year, you will have to protect the pseudostem.You should be ok unless you get temps. below 30 for long periods.I would mulch heavily also. good luck.

Frances, Just to reiterate, and add a few new ideas. Pope JP II black spots and has serious winter die back without protection here, just like all hybrid teas I know of do here, other than the Kordes ADR hybrid teas. When I did my extensive research on PJP II, I determined that it is a warm climate rose, and does better grafted in my zone rather than on its own roots. Every one around here is disappointed with its performance grown own root. Iceberg is fragrant here. To my nose, being in the autumn of its life, it scores a 6.5 out of 10, better than the frequently heard term 'moderately fragrant,' by a few notches. Iceberg has the same disease resistance and winter hardiness here as the common, garden variety of hybrid tea, very little. It also has gangly, one this way, one that day growth; the flowers nod. It looks best in a bed with several other Icebergs, at least two bushes deep and as long as you want. Here are some more whites to consider: Milwaukee's Calatrava. It's a Bill Radler rose, but not in the Knockout family, so its winter hardiness and disease resistance may be questionable. Its too new in my garden to tell yet. Bolero. Its a Meilland rose. Again, I have not had it long enough to know its characteristics yet. These two are powerfully fragrant and as white as you can get. I suspect spraying and winter protection are needed here (I spray religiously), for optimal enjoyment here. There's hardly a fragrant rose that is winter hardy and disease resistant, especially a white rose. Moses

A wonderful friend, Kim, was writing a book on the genus Viola. Sadly she passed away in 2011 before the book was finished. On line I found this link. Not sure if it will decide for you what you photographed. http://botanikim.com/2017/05/14/viola-sempervirens-greene/
