Comments (5)I "found" her at a cemetery..it wasn't in bloom at the time..but I was intrigued because of the foliage and thorn arrangement..thought it might be special. I just looked it up on HMF..and you are right..that is my rose..I am going to enjoy growing this rose! I took the cuttings 2 summers ago, and this is the first bloom I've seen..and lots of them!! Thanks...Donna...See MoreSmallish white fragrant rose
Comments (18)Out of the four, Bolero sounds like what you want. Pure Perfume in my mild climate has the most intense grapefruit fragrance. I love it so much. It gets horrible rust in my climate, but I don't spray. I am pulling all of my bushes this year. It kills me to do it because the fragrance is to die for. I live by the ocean so you might have better luck. The flowers have a grey cast to them every once in a while. The flowers on Bolero are amazing. Wonderful scent as well. Fair Bianca is a weak rose. I gave up on it years ago. Glamis Castle is another white Austin you might consider. It has the myrrh scent that FB has. I wonder if anyone has any experience with Claire Austin. A new white Austin rose. Eileen...See MorePlease share your expereince with these white roses
Comments (15)Thanks for all the responses.I should have mentioned that I have julia renaissance,PJPII,gingerhill and joan fontaine.I had pennylane and jardins de bagaitelle and lost them to winter.I liked the blooms I saw on those two .I would like to know that some one had success with them in zone5 before trying either one of the two. I should have requested for the information on how badly the roses mentioned get affected by thrips and JBs .I didn't see a decent bloom on julia until fall and we didn't have too many jbs in our yard. As always I appreciate sharing your expereince and look forward to more of them. Thanks. Dana...See MoreTry to find White Lightening Rose bushes
Comments (5)Another fan of White Lightnin' from years past, also looking to add to this garden. Plan to call Roses Unlimited (own root gallons) to check availability myself. One good thing about own roots is that if the branches freeze out, the rose that grows back will be the original & not the rootstock (likely Dr. Huey is your case). http://www.rosesunlimitedownroot.com/alphabetical_list.htm The description at HelpMeFind lists 7b as its lowest hardiness range, but under the Member Comments tab, a contributor mentions it grows well for them in zone 5 Colorado. http://www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?l=2.6527&tab=1...See Moredamask_rose_zone9b
