Show your roses by color: WHITE
Even though I have fewer white roses than other colors, I'm very fond of them, and am anxious to see everyone else's!
Pope John Paul II - Began looking much better toward the end of the season, and also exhibited much more fragrance this season than ever before.
JFK. - Every time I think I might shovel prune this one, if starts putting on new growth, might give it another chance! Even though the nice blooms are few and far between, they can be beautiful!
Pink Promise - I guess I should have included this one with the pinks, but since mine barely shows any, I'll include it here. Seems like a very good rose, and wants to bloom. Like it so far!

Comments (56)seil - what a sweet bloom on Tattooed Lady. Being a tattooed lady myself, I might need to find a spot for that one! msjam2 - your photos are beautiful. I second Sara Ann about Distant Drums. I have one coming this spring as well. I also really like your raised stone border... was that DIY? I'd love to do something like that for my own beds!

Comments (37)All of these photos are stunning! How about Sara-Ann's Peace photo - wow. Absolute perfection! Actually, Sara-Ann, all of your photos are fantastic. Nice job. I really want to compliment everyone here on your photos! I think everybody here is becoming better at photography as a by-product of loving roses! Vapor, the only reason I don't spray Peace is because it's so very dry here. I feel like I get that one break, but heat sure fries Peace's blooms in mid-summer. That was last year's Spring flush. Peace does continue to bloom at least two more big flushes, but it's pretty hot by that time and it doesn't always look so pretty. Carol, I feel so bad for my Peace stuffed in that pot for three years now I think. We're in the planning stages of our house and yard remodel so the poor thing is going to have to stay were it is for another season. It keeps getting bigger and stronger each year there along that fence. I hope it can manage in that pot for a bit longer. Candice is lovely and most all of the roses I managed to get from Ludwigs seem to do really well in our extreme heat - all but Purple Lodge who's blooms fry as soon as the sun comes up. Lady of the Mist is just a baby and puts out giant blooms packed with petals. Amazing! I look forward to how it does this next season....See More
7 years agoYeah, somehow I don't seem to have that many whites either. I guess there's just not as many varieties as most of the other colors. I just ordered POLAR STAR from Hortico. Hope it looks as good as pics I've seen.
Here's what looked best of my whites from this season...
This is supposed to be the mini CACHET, but I'm not so sure. It's certainly not "mini." I realize "mini-floras" tend to be larger, but this thing is pretty darn big. The plant is about 3-4ft and the blooms are average 2-2½". So I dunno. Whatever it is, it's always lovely and rarely gets disease. Only maybe a little BS in the early spring and winter.

Green Romantica was a mistake (supposed to be St. Patrick), but turned out to be super healthy and the blooms last a long time. More white with green edges. Really dark green foliage.
Iceberg which I'm finding to be quite lovely.

POPE JOHN PAUL II, probably my favorite white.
FABULOUS, a floribunda that is just "fabulous."
WHIRLAWAY, miniflora with long lasting blooms.
Thinking this one is TINEKE, but not for sure.
RANDY SCOTT, another great white, but no fragrance.
CANADIAN WHITE STAR, has beautiful quilling.

I love Sombreuil but no decent photos of him this season.
Your PJP II's look so nice! I grew this rose is another garden and loved it.
7 years agoBolero is such a prolific bloomer. It is a wonderful rose. Here are a few pics of my Bolero this past spring.
Another white that blooms alot during spring flush is DA Tranquillity. Though it does not bloom as well throughout the growing season.
My favorite white blend is DA Crocus Rose. It blooms very well throughout the growing season with 2 big flushes in the spring and fall and quick repeats throughout the season.

I'm still trying to find the perfect white rose. Each one of these has qualities, but may not have quite everything. Each is lovely in its own right though. I haven't tried Claire Austin, Desdemona, Polar Express, Ducher or Snowbird yet. No room!
