Comments (11)Renee, your Symphony looks fantastic. May I ask, where did you get yours from? Symphony also goes perfectly with the color of the Joan Senior day lilies. I don't know, but when you planted them in the same bed they probably can be seen blooming together, which would be awesome! I just love white and whitish flowering plants. You always do such a good job in combining colors, I really admire you for that!

Comments (229)I once had a rose that was sold at a big box store as Color Magic. It grew almost as tall as Octoberfest — over five feet tall — but with relatively few leaves and puny pale pink flowers perched on top. It was all cane and no virtually no rose. (Maybe I got a bad specimen?) I have also had very limited success with miniatures. I only ever bought one that made it longer than three years. Another one I dislike is Perfect Moment. The colors will knock your socks off — it should have been named something along the lines of "Fiery Sunset" or "Burning Embers", IMHO — but the leaves were thick and almost leather-like. As the blooms aged, they had a tendency to remain in place vs. drop off for an almost petrified appearance. I also had one called Voodoo. It was the thorniest rose bush I had ever seen — more thorns than flowers and leaves combined....See More

8 years agolast modified: 8 years agoI find taking good white pics is even harder than taking decent red pics--which is my excuse for these not very enthralling pics of white roses. : (
Promise to work on this in the spring.
Gourmet Popcorn--love that name--and such a cheerful upright mini.
Green Ice--another mini, but a sprawler. This is my daughter's pic of my GI. I have 4 of them scattered around the garden.
Memoire (HT)--I must get a decent pic of this lovely rose this year.
Elina (HT)--I always think of her as a creamy white with pale yellow highlights in the center, but I noticed that some posters call her pale yellow. Whichever. For some reason I don't have a decent pic of her either, but you can see the couple I have mixed into this planting (and please ignore the eyesore of my neighbor's ugly garage!).
That's about it. I hope someone with truly beautiful whites will come along and inspire me to take some great white pics in the future. : )
Kate
Edited to add: Just saw your pics, Ingrid--lovely--all of them--but that White Pet is especially charming. I've never seen a really good pic of it before and have never seen it in real life. Thank you for that pic.
And I meant to tell Sara that I really like her Kennedy rose--great form and shape!

8 years agoThese are two from my Randy Scott. This is the first year for this bush, and it's really coming into it's own. I must have at least 15 buds/blooms on it. It is on Fortuniana. I hope it survives the winter.

8 years agoJust have a few white roses but love white for the feeling of coolness, delicacy, and purity.
Gourmet Popcorn
Gourmet Popcorn has a slight fragrance which I like and it's very pretty when I combine it with other roses in a vase; however, it isn't the best cut flower since it drops petals quickly.
World War II Memorial Rose - very prolific bloomer, long lasting.
In my garden, Claire Austin starts out as a completely pale yellow rose but lightens into this white/yellowish color below, and finally into a completely white rose with tiny bit of yellow in the center.
Hope you like these!

8 years agolast modified: 8 years agoI'm going to cheat a bit and include "near-white" roses. Also, some pics were taken earlier in the season.
'Devoniensis' a week ago
'Marie Pavie' this week
and back in late May
'Clotilde Soupert' two weeks ago
one week ago -- canes heavy with bloom
and back in late May
"Bermuda Spice" back in late May
and again this week -- this rose has NEVER been without blooms all season, though they get smaller and whiter during the hottest part of Summer
more to follow
:-)

Another white Damask from late May, this is 'Botzaris' showing a touch of pink
In the pics below from late May are two white roses -- 'Bozaris' near the front, and 'Bubble Bath' against the fence.
The daddy of all Damasks, this is 'R. fedtschenkoana'
'Mlle Blanche Lafitte' in late May
and again just before Halloween
'Rival de Paestum' from a couple weeks ago -- one of many roses in my garden which are still babies
And "Lindee", still in a pot
:-)
