Bred by Colin Dickson (1956-....) (United Kingdom, before 1999).
Introduced in United Kingdom by Dickson Nurseries Ltd. / Dickson Roses in 1999 as 'Racy Lady'.

Hybrid Tea.  

White, cream reverse.  Moderate fragrance.  Average diameter 5".  Very large, full (26-40 petals), borne mostly solitary, high-centered bloom form.  Blooms in flushes throughout the season.  

Armed with thorns / prickles, upright.  Medium, glossy, dark green foliage.  

Height: 37" to 39" (95 to 100cm).  

USDA zone 7b and warmer.  Spring Pruning: Remove old canes and dead or diseased wood and cut back canes that cross. In warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by about one-third. In colder areas, you'll probably find you'll have to prune a little more than that.  Requires spring freeze protection (see glossary - Spring freeze protection) .  

The color of the blooms is creamy-white which deepens in the center to show a hint of peachy-lemon.
Freedom Gardens state that 'Whisper' is a sister seedling to 'Racy Lady'
