Dependable in a garden as an alternative to Iceberg, producing color and lovely green bushy foliage when other more temperamental roses are doing just that. I fertilize with Bayer 3-in-1 every six weeks.
This rose survives our eastern Wisconsin (Zone 5) winters well if buried in ground, and the first bloom of the season is magnificent. Si...Read Morence I have trouble growing white roses, this one is valuable to me.
There are a couple of problems with it, though. The growth habit is to have huge clusters of blooms at the end of long branches. The weight of these clusters often weighs the branch down to the ground, and if it rains, the extra weight of the rain water caught by the rose blooms inevitably drags some branches down into the mud. In that case, the branches sometimes break off the main stem. Many years I have to tie this rose up to keep the branches off the ground.
Also, this rose forms very large hips, and you have to be sure to remove them if you want rebloom. The rebloom on this rose isn't the best anyway, and if you leave hips, it is poorer yet.
So there are some problems. But it is a white rose I can grow successfully, and there aren't too many of them. So, thumbs up.
