I only have one, and it only ticks two of your boxes. For me, Louise D'Arzens is vigorous and pure white, opening from buds tinged with pink and red. Sometimes the open blooms take on a greenish tint. The scent is pure rose to me, but the foliage is often mildewy, as you can see in this picture from this evening:

If you haven't already considered it, I recommend Mandevilla laxa for your moonlight garden. As my dog has gotten older, I often need to carry her outside in the middle of the night, and I enjoy the scent of the mandevilla (mixed with the night blooming jasmine) as I wait for her. To me, it smells like pure California, even though it is from Chile.

Well, there's always 'Mme. Alfred Carriere', which is blush but always gives me the impression of being white, and fully open is pretty white. You probably already know all this, but MAC is big, has few thorns, is fragrant, floriferous, not totally disease free, but totally unconcerned by such disease as she gets. I do really enjoy my plant. But she needs a pergola. The scent I would call sweet China with a note of pepper, very pleasant, and it does carry on the air.

In my garden it flowers from April/May until January. It is evergreen, strongly perfumed and has had no diseases or any problems. It is bulletproof here.....and I actually have a Mandevilla laxa growing with it.

"SETZER NOISETTE"

It's that wonderful clove/honey fragrance, which is 100% musk. Clearly a sport or seedling of 'Blush Noisette' it was brought to CA by Joyce Demits. You would be doing a Good Deed to plant it, since it was almost lost when Joyce closed her nursery, and later, passed away.

A lovely, full, pillar climber, it blooms in vast profusion, and will repeat well if deadheaded. It's completely disease-free in my Camarillo garden -- and I mean completely.

There are three sources for it. The nearest to you is Burlington, but here's the list:
http://www.helpmefind.com/gardening/l.php?l=2.40998&tab=16

Mine came from Joyce. The Cemetery's plant came from me, and I believe that's where Burling's came from.

Gorgeous as always Jeri. About how tall is that pillar? Mine is still just a baby stick but starting to put out new leaves. Eventually I'll have to figure where I'll put it.

Lux - the only other Noisette in my garden is Mary Washington. I think she is lacking the height you are looking for. She has been in a big pot for several (8?) years, thrives on neglect, fragrant and, like Jeri's Setzer, always absolutely clean. Not even a hint of powdery mildew. HMF says 5 feet but I swear there have been a few wayward canes longer than that wending their way through neighboring roses. Kim (Roseseek) recommended her to me and she is one rose that absolutely lived up to what I was told.

I would echo Jeri‘s recommendation for Setzer Noisette. The foliage is pristine and a beautiful deep green. Mine is just a baby, but will not stop blooming, and smells amazing, even in our 95 F weather. I’m disbudding everything right now, but that plant requires a daily check. Pale pink buds and frothy white blooms in huge clusters. I cannot wait for it grow up over the arbor. :-)

Lux -- That's one side of a standard metal arbor, purchased years ago from HD. The rose has grown up the side, and across the top, but probably won't go much more because it's shady back there.

Thanks all,

I already have MAC in my front yard and I wanted a Noisette with smaller white flowers in profusion so Thank you all for your suggestions and it looks like Setzer Noisette is the rose for me, it fits my desire completely. I also like the "good deed" part and plan to propagate after it grows up some, it so I can pass it around my neighborhood. Why don't I hear more about this white Noisette? I would think everyone in a warm climate would want one, at least those of us who love white and pink roses.

Jeri, How long has Setzer Noisette been in commerce, and thank you, again and again for seeing it is continuing to be sold.

Love,

Lux.

Jeri, please comment on how you deadhead Setzer Noisette. I drive myself crazy deadheading (and pruning for that matter) my small flowered roses, but I never hear anyone else mention it, so I must be making it harder than it should be.

Several noisettes and teas mildew for me. MAC was covered. They are just not pretty when that mildewy. I wonder if anyone grows the Setzer noisette in the South Bay near me. I suppose I could drive over to the SJ Heritage Rose Garden and take a look.

flowersaremusic,

Mostly, I just yank the faded blooms off with my hand.

Sometimes, when I am too busy, I don't do it at all. Then, but plan goes around those sprays, and makes new growth and new blooms that cover them.

In that case, the blooms eventually dry completely, and fall off or otherwise disappear.

If I faithfully deadheaded after each flush, I would get more flushes. But then, my right hand would hurt so bad, I wouldn't care. (I have a problem with my hand. Might be arthritis.)

Jeri, dates in family history are frequently wrong when not clearly documented. My family had a folding sewing stand that belonged to my great grandmother's great grandmother in New England. We assumed a date of around 1790-1810. I treasured it. However no one in the next generation of our family had any interest in it, so I donated it to a historic society museum. Their expert dated it to mid-1800's. I am guessing that she acquired it later in life rather than as a bride, as everyone had assumed.

The point of this story is that we knew and had written evidence of who originally owned the sewing stand yet we were still wrong about the date. So I'm sure it is easy for a neighbor of a Setzer descendant to have the date wrong. A son-in-law was a carpenter. Perhaps he made it as a gift for her. It is handmade, and very graceful.

Also for Jeri, check with your doctor about your hand. I have just been diagnosed with a form of tendonitis in my right hand, and yes, it came from gardening overuse. But rest, ice, stretching exercises, and the right kind of brace are supposed to restore it. (It is a thumb brace, not the kind of brace you use for carpal tunnel). If it is not arthritis, you can get better.

Rosefolly

Yeah. I've checked Tendonitis, and went through a few thousand dollars of tests for Rheumatoid Arthritis (which I knew it was not.). Leave it to me to have something that confuses doctors.

Thanks, Jeri. I knew I was making it harder than necessary. The main reason I don't like Ghislaine de Feligonde is that she doesn't drop spent blooms, and freshly opened ones compete for space and attention with the dried up ones. Pulling them off would be easier than trying to find the "proper" place to snip on a big bush with small blooms. I understand how your hand limits your deadheading. My hands are ok, but my back hates deadheading.

I was just listening to a commercial flower grower talk about pruning their thousands of shrub roses - they use something like a chainsaw and just go over the tops of the bushes. They get abundant, massive, continual bloom. This is not fair!

If it makes you feel any better, that only works for a few years (per the late Mel Hulse). Eventually, you need to go in and clean up dead canes.

To pull the sprays of bloom off:
Grab the stem beneath the spray with one gloved hand.
Grab the brown, crispy blooms in one big fist full.
Yank 'em off.
You can clean up a little with clippers, but you don't really have to. The plant will cope.

Thanks, Jeri, you're a peach!

I ordered 'Setzer Noisette' a few days ago from Burling and she said she'd ship it today. Yesss!

I am brimming with that feeling of "I'm -getting- a -new -rose -zany -glee"

Thanks for the historical information Jeri. Is there any possibility Setzer Noisette was an O.P. rose from the 1700's? There's so little documentation about roses from our New World in that century.

When I want to dead-head my Polyanthas and Noisettes I approach them with my walking cane and whack each a few times and all the withered petals fall in a shower to the ground. While I'm beating up my rosebushes In my heart I'm repeating

"I love you-I love you-I love you".

It's a quick, easy, and painless way to dead -head roses that re-bloom quickly without needing their hips removed. I've been doing this for years and none of my rosebushes have suffered from some damage to the canes.

Lux.

P.S. it's probably a good thing that my neighbors know that I'm a sane person.

Good your neighbors know, Lux. You might be in a small group on this forum. My neighbors might be wondering.

Lux, I will give your method a try. I would make one small change in your routine and say "I love you-I love you-I love you" out loud. Give your neighbors something to talk about.

Well, I haven't whacked 'em with a cane, but come to think of it, that's not a bad idea. Works for me.

Sure. I think it could be an open-pollinated seedling, or a sport, But in any case, doesn't it just define "Passalong Plant"?

Maybe I'm just goofy-romantic, but there's something incredibly beautiful to me, about the whole idea of passing a rooted piece of a beloved plant on forward to a person you love and respect. And just as much, I love the idea that we continue that tradition.

Right here in California . . . From Joyce to me, from me to the Cemetery. From the Cemetery to Burling . . . and, I hope, on and on and on.
