A fantastic rose that is 2 years old. She starts well, puts so much energy into blooming she forgets to grow. She is now putting up longer canes from the base later in year 2. Please be patient with it. The blossoms look like wedding cake icing roses. They start out mild scented but as the bush has aged they are getting stronger. I'm in zone 6b. She has gone through 2 summers with drought and a -3F winter with no die back. Better fungal resistances than most of my other Buck roses '9 out of 10 rating from me'. If you are looking for a hard working rose, look no further!
What hasn't my poor Paloma Blanca endured in her two years with me? She got dug up by my neighbor's Lab her first year and got run over by the lawn mower by my 10-year-old grandson later that year. Lawn mowers have it in for her; my son-in-law also ran her over. I finally moved her; she was next to my overly blooming and gigantic Flamenco Rosita, so she was easy to get overlooked and run over. She's now with more manageable rose bushes and growing and blooming beautifully. Her blooms are exquisite; they're just as pictured and open up to an even larger size as they mature, lasting several days. So far, no signs of disease and pest-free. She's definitely a tough cookie and a beauty!
I purchased this rose in 2019. It continually produces beautiful white roses.,It’s a hardy bush, has made it through 95 degree weather in the summer, and 8 degree weather this past winter. I would recommend to anyone who loves white roses. I transplanted it from a pot to the ground early this spring and it is growing rapidly. Very happy with this rose.
Slow start the first year but took off like a rocket the 2nd year. The plant is still small - less than 2x2 - but full of GORGEOUS fragrant flowers. The form of the flower is exactly like the picture on the HR site. One of my favorite roses (even though I have so many favorites right now...)
