This is an outstanding rose, healthy, disease-free, with endless beautiful white blooms. Unfortunately, I placed it in the front of my bed, so, especially when it's windy or rainy, the entire area around it is full of fallen petals. And not in an attractive way. Put it somewhere where it's not the focus of attention and you'll be very happy. Zone 6b, facing west.

This grew to be about 25 feet tall and 6 feet wide in my garden. I did cut off all the canes a few years ago and it all grew back within about 6 weeks. It’s stunning if you have the space. Beautiful foliage, beautiful blooms, very cool hips. It doesn’t need much of any care at all. Just plant it and get out of the way.

Love this rose. One of the first I purchased from Heirloom Roses years ago. It stands about 5 ft tall now and is starting to bloom 5/15. It will do this through summer. It likes to spread so cut the suckers. Great plant.

The flowers on this plant come in a brilliant white unlike any other rose. It is incredibly hardy and blooms very early, along with the peonies in the same bed in my Zone 5b garden. Like many rugosas, it is not a beautiful plant on its own, but when it blooms, it is spectacular. Requires no care at all, making it perfect for a gardener who doesn’t want to baby a plant.
