I will say Earth Angel and Bolero.

Definitely Bolero. I have 3 and each one is a winner.

Bolero. Repeats twice as fast as Earth Angel, and might be the best repeating rose I’ve grown of any color.

Alas, Bolero is/was a black spotter for me, and weak necks dominated. Earth Angel is rock solid black spot free here, but a tight wad for repeating.

I find excellent remontant pure white roses to be quite elusive. That’s why every year my fingers are crossed DA will release a new one.

Bolero and Desdemona would be my top two but Bolero often has a blush center and Desdemona can be quite peachy.

That leaves me with Katherina Zeimet and….yeah, I got nuttin.

Everybody else either has too much blush, pink, peach or yellow or they just aren’t vigorous and healthy enough to recommend

What about Icecap? Not the most showy one but it keeps clean throughout the season and repeats fast for me. Bloom abundantly in cluster. It's my top 10 rose. In cooler temps it may show a little pink center, but for the most part it's a creamy white. (Sorry for the poor quality of the photos.)

Pope John Paul is always blooming for me, sometimes in clusters and always very fragrant. Never any BS for me, a touch of mildew though in spring but right now that’s a problem for all my roses sadly so I can’t fault PJP. Bolero also as mentioned but it does get a touch of BS in early spring and late fall for me.

MyMy grafted PJP II black spotted big time here in Pittsburgh. Yet it bloomed lavishly and frequently with mostly strong necks and with a mesmerizing beauty of flower and scent. Sorry to see it get shovel pruned.

Trier did well for me so long as I kept acidifying the soil. Lost it to RRD a few years ago, which is why it is past tense.

Have you tried Madame Anisette? She wants to be a climber for me and has a long bloom period once she gets going. But I've heard that she doesn't adoesn't repeat bloom a. lot for some people. She can also have some blush in the center in cooler weather. I consider her a great bloomer in my garden. For me she has a very long bloom run....more continuous than in flushes

I've heard that some people hard prune her after the first flush to keep her more as a shrub.

Mine is own root.

White Cap is a really pretty white rose.

Beautiful @librarian_gardner_8b_pnw pictures! I second recommend mme annisette for tall and well behaved shrub. my other top pick will be Earth Angel, and Desdemona. Cant go wrong with any of them, if you have the space grow all of them!

Desdemona

Earth Angel

Mme ann

Snowdrift: bullet proof in my high blackspot pressure area, very little cane loss in the toughest winter and blooms in big flushes. The only downside is that blooms turn brown as it ages instead of petals falling off and being self cleaning.

DESDEMONA (Shrub, 2015) and POPE JOHN PAUL II (Hybrid Tea, 2004) both defoliated from black spot in my garden (USDA Zone 7a). Both had to be grafted to grow in the clay acidic soil that predominates in my part of the Mid-Atlantic. I still have Desdemona but it is on death row as I await its replacement (Earth Angel).

EARTH ANGEL (Floribunda, Tim Hermann Kordes, Germany, 2003) and LULLABY (Polyantha, Roy E. Shepherd, U.S., 1953) have been resistant. Earth Angel in particular is my favorite, but the repeat is slow during the heat of summer and the color is more of a blush white.

Note, I said resistant, not immune. The only repeat blooming, fragrant, white roses that are completely immune in Black Spot Hell are DARLOW'S ENIGMA (Hybrid Musk, Mike Darlow, U.S., 1993) and ROSA RUGOSA ALBA (Species). Both have single, pure white blooms on hideously thorned, monstrous shrubs.

Resistant, but not immune: Bubble Bath, Lindee, Yvonne Rabier.Excellent: Tooth Fairy and Marie Pavie. Guirlande Damour might fall into the perfect category ans it puts on age and get better rebloom. Its 2 flushes with scattered in between. In its defense it receives almost no care.I wish Bolero were as great a rose as others, but it just aint so. worth eeping, however. Perfect in all ways except rebloom is First Crush. I really need to give it a hard prune after blooming to see if that helps.

Have you tried Madame Anisette?

Out of the mouths of babes.

Woops - I see now I misunderstood what that means, and ”fools” doesn’t seem quite applicable, either.

I don't understand what you're saying, rifis.

This will explain everything, lg - the first several comments, from 6 years ago.

There’s never been a rose more hotly debated here than MA.

disclosure : I have one. Cori Ann and her photos are responsible.

Thanks. I see now. I suppose she's a wonderful rose for some. Definitely one of the best in terms of health for me and a good bloomer.

Perhaps Easy Spirit? I have a brand new one, so I can’t say much yet from experience about it. Maybe someone else can chime in on Easy Spirit?

Edit- Heirloom has Easy Spirit right now I think.

First year growing Easy Spirit, 2022, and it was a black spotter for me. I tell you, the black spot pressure is intense here.

I’ve had Lions-Rose for a few years. Got it based on recommendations here. Deer, rabbits and spider mites (after soil application of imidacloprid) have kept it back prior years. It has the requisite disease resistance and productivity. Some fragrance, though less than its neighbors Beverly and DeeLish. A suggestion of a bit of light peach in the center, at times, should not be a deal-breaker.

I am trying the Lions rose this year also and so far it is clean. I also struggle to find white with great blackspot resistance and the ones I do grow have already been mentioned here except Cloud 10. For me Cloud 10 hasn’t been a very vigorous climber but It’s blooms are white ( some yellow warmth when the temps are cool) and immune to blackspot.

here is a small video I made a few years back

I don’t know how to make the video show up like Ben’s did. If anyone knows I would appreciate the help. Thank You.

"Honeymoon" by Kordes has been super healthy, hardy, vigorous and totally disease free here in Michigan. I know it is labeled a climber, but I prune it to a tall, 5' (think Queen Elizabeth, the grandiflora) tower. Honeymoon starts blooming early, and with enough water, blooms all summer. Own -root. No fragrance.

Honeymoon doing great here also (young plant )
