I bought this rose in November and it was defoliated when it arrived in Dallas. After 2 weeks it started to grow new leaves. To my surprise, it bloomed in January, which was pretty unusual for a newly planted climbing rose. The flower had very elegant fragrance. The outmost petal is white tinted with green. Inner petal is creamy white tinted with pink, which is not identical to the image shown on the website. Overall, it is a great rose!
The fastest grower of all my Heirloom roses. Only a few blooms so far and they aren't as white as I'd hoped but it's only the first year.
I bought the rose, and had it shipped to my condo complex, and after a week and a "Delivered" status on tracking, I called customer service, and they got a replacement rose out in the mail. The replacement is settled in and growing; it had a few fragrant white flowers this summer.
Recently planted three of these beauties. I was expecting clear white blooms, but the buds appeared to be cream color before opening. As the flowers open they turn much paler, the fully open flowers are really close to be white. Luckily they grow in front of a sunny brick wall - so the hint of the apricot-blush warmness actually turned into a very pleasant feature. The first buds and the starting foliage was on the smaller scale, but as the plants grow, so do the size of the foliage and flowers. Can't wait to see how these roses perform by next year.
