There is one photo on HMF. It appears to be a self seedling, of a self seedling, of Abigail Adams.

Pat Shanley really supported OGRs in the ARS magazine. I miss her support. The new guy has reverted back to usual ARS.

I really like this one. I wish more information was available on it.

Hmm. Maybe I’ll give it a shot this spring and report back. Thanks all!

Thanks for sharing these additional pics, Sam. I went ahead and ordered it. I had planned on putting a different rose in a spot but I think this may work perfect. I may grow it in a pot for a while to get to know it’s growth habit first, though, but looking forward to it.

I wonder if these additional pics could be added to HMF. It's so pretty and would be great to get it in wider distribution.

I was just researching this one also. Will be very interested in the reports of those who buy it.

Need to see more photos. It looks like a watered down version of the classic Marie Pavie, to me.

I’ll post some photos as the summer progresses. It’s sitting in a south window right now enjoying being in out of the blizzard. It came with flowers that were really pretty and smelled nice too. Getting ready to bloom a bunch again.

Yours looks great, Sam! Mine just arrived today with blooms as well. The blooms are cute with a button eye and the fragrance is nice. The foliage is small and cute also. I’m really looking forward to this one maturing.

I just wanted to update on my president shanley rose. It has grown a ton and flowers practically constantly. i couldnt smell it much to begin with bu

t smells amazing now with the smell sometimes wafting. the flowers start light pink and turn white quickly in my garden, but are still pretty white.

Of course I waited too long to take a pic so many of the flowers are past but still pretty. so far the rose slugs have seemed to leave it alone but have caused a lot of damage to my other roses

Looks like a great rose!! What a bloomer!! And the rose slugs leave it alone? That's a really great feature!

President Shanley

Most indecorous

That looks great! Can you show a closeup of one of the clusters?

Hey Rifis. What color and class is Most Indecorous?

'President Shanley' rose is featured in the January 2023 online 'The Fragrant Rose' e-newsletter from ARS. Here's what the write-up says: "Introduced by High Country Roses in 2019, 'President Shanley' is an exceptionally winter hardy, exceptionally fragrant, and highly disease resistant shrub rose bred by the late Andy Vanable. Born as a cross between 'Empty Pockets' and an unknown rose as a result of the work of garden pollinators, 'President Shanley' is a must have rose for every garden. Setting huge sprays of baby pink flowers that turn white with age, this rose seems to be always in bloom. It is highly vigorous and will grow from a rooted cutting sold from vendors online to a full sized bush in only one growing season. As a result, it can withstand the harshest of growing conditions. I planted a row of rooted cuttings of 'President Shanley' in a no-spray garden that I used to manage. This garden had poor soil quality, a lack of fertilizer, issues with proper watering in the summer, and a total lack of winter protection despite being in a windy location. Not only did these bushes survive, they thrived! I liked it so much, I have one growing in a small pot in my own garden. The pot freezes solid with no winter protection and the rose pulls through with no freeze damage each spring. This rose sure is a keeper in any garden!"

What a glowing review, I'm glad I bought one for spring!

In my previous garden, President Shanley’s blooms readily balled. In a dry climate this rose should do well.
