This a cross by Shirley Morr and what a beauty it is. Dr. D x Whiskers. Edited to say it is also fragrant.

A new white thank you Shirley Morr
Nice. Her tendrils are long enough to tie knots in. LOL Not that I'd do that. Been liking long tendrils ever since I saw my first whiskers a few years back.

Barb, that is beautiful. How is its bug resistance? I'm thinking of getting rid of Whiskers, but then when I see things like this, I might need to rethink it.
Please e-mail me. We need to talk. There is a shortcut between Poplarville and Hattiesburg.

And it is blooming in hundred degree weather and the blooms last for several days even in that heat. A very sturdy flower and fragrant.
Got to love a good white. I like the shape and the low calyx.
Gorgeous! Nice to hear that it is sturdy also!
Nice!!! She's definitely my kind of Brug standing up to this heat and humidity! with frangrance also! Is she a keeper for you???
Judy
Very pretty, barb. Congrats to you and Shirley.
This is 'Ambrosia', a Susie French cross Whiskers x EP, named in 2003.
Linda, Is she fragrant??
Very pretty and long tendrils.
another nice one... congrats Bward and Shirley!
I've got one of her crosses with buds we'll get to see soon.
How would you describe the fragrance? Is it the lite citrus version or some stronger babypowder (my nose tells me) flavor?
That bright white and shape would be very welcome if it likes to flaunt it's perfume.
Very lovely....would be beautiful in a Night Garden.... (wink wink nudge nudge)...:~)
Yours is too cute Barb, she looks like a young colt, all legs.
Boy Linda, yours is a great looker also. I just love these long tendrils.
OH NOOOOOOO, do you think my favorites might be changing to whites??? You must admit they have such an elegance to them.
Kell, you can't go white. Then you'd have to dye your hair white instead of pink, and you'd look like everyone else when you retire. Stay pink, girl ! LOL
You are so right Mary, what was I thinking??? And I can't afford a whole new wardrobe either. I don't look as hot with white hair either. Pink forever!!
Me with white hair. I do look like everyone else!!
Due to illness, I haven't been here to read for a long time and I have to say I just now found this thread. Also have to say that it isn't my cross. I'm sorry Barb. I've never had Dr. D. and have never even used pollen from that plant. I hope the person who made the cross will step up and take credit for it.
Hi Shirley, good to see you back online. Hope you're feeling better.
Well, Barb - whomever the hybridizer - WOW what a beauty! Gosh..another one to lust for..when will this END???? (never I hope !)

Hi, Shirley. Sure hope you are much better.
Yeah, Shirley.....I sure hope you are doing better, even tho I know you are not doing much walking.
Kris
BRUGIE. so good to see you, hope your feeling better.
Bward that is a lovely white.
Shirley,
So very nice to see you post hopefully your recovery is going well.
Judy
love the flower shape and long tendrils
Very pretty. I love the white ones too.
Shirley, It is great to have you back. I hope you are feeling better and have a full speedly recovery.
Thanks everyone. I hope it will be a speedy recovery too, but six weeks is six weeks any way you look at it.
Such a coincidence that you are showing two lovely whites; I have an unamed one in a more shaded area that attracted me to its rich scent; then I saw the blossoms, and they are so pure and clean that I thought I'd take a picture tonight to say "don't forget about the whites!"
and here you are already reminding us!
Shirley, hope you are doing well. Jeanette
