JFK? Also always got a disease or 5

Madame Anisette, this will be white in the summer I think?

Cloud 10

Lichfield angel had a challenging year so no good pics yet.

Haven't got much to offer in the white category--roses, I mean. I use a fair amount of white (perennials, bushes) in the background. Sets off the roses so nicely.

Boule de Neige (Bourbon, Hybrid Perpetual, Noisette--one of those types--no one knows for sure!)--not the best pic, unfortunately.

Pope John Paul (HT) -- Nice when it blooms, but not one that makes my heart sing.

Green Ice--mini

Gourmet Popcorn (miniature shrublet)--

I'm kinda wishing now I had bought Bolero--but I didn't and I'm trying to shrink my gardens a bit, not expand them. Sigh.

I would love to hear about Green Ice and Gourmet Popcorn. I've been wanting them for a while. Sarah-Ann, your pictures are so atmospheric! Also, LOVE Cloud Ten. I'm thinking on that one. Does it drop its petals cleanly? Noseometer, your WC and MP pics are superb. It's amazing how sometimes a photo perfectly exemplifies the rose and at others it's anyone's guess as to the rose.

I dont have as many whites as I would like

I have 4 Desdamona and not sure yet how white they will be

But I do have

2 Bolero. Both brand new

So pretty!

Here are mine:

Iceberg

Bolero

I also have Memoire and the smell is wonderful. I can’t believe this is the only picture I took of it.

And Earth Angel looking less pink and more creamy white in the summer heat.

Kristine, your Bolero is charming. I hope mine gets bigger this year. I love white roses, but don't have too many. Ooops. Maybe I do have a few! : ) click to see correctly.

Posting pics in a sec.

vaporvac--about Green Ice and Gourmet Popcorn--

Both are quite self-sufficient roses. I rarely do much to care for them, and they continue on doing their own thing anyway. Both are quite BS resistant.

Green Ice is a sprawling mini. I have it growing periodically in the front row.

Gourmet Popcorn is a survivor--I've moved it several times and it goes right back to blooming. Right now it is growing too close to a bigger and taller rose, but GP is still doing fine--just growing quite vertically. Don't know if she would spread out more if she had more space.

Like I said, I like lots of whites tucked in here and there around the beds--livens them up, colorwise. Green Ice and Gourmet Popcorn are good for that--but if you prefer picking roses for bouquets, they wouldn't be much help there.

I don't love either one--but they are good practical roses to fill out the design of your gardens.

Hope that helps.

Dublin Bay that sounds like what I use white roses for. That's why I love the Tooth Fairy although it's a nice ized Bush but also Lindee and Yvonne Robbier. Thank you for the reply!

Vaporvac- cloud 10 does drop its petals clean, no disease, just some sunburn. It’s only been in the ground 2 years so we’ll see what it does this year, not huge so far.

So many gorgeous whites, would love to see more!
