The 'Snow Bush', R. dupontii... Dupont, Director of the Luxembourg Gardens in Paris during the Napoleonic Wars... a climber... a cross between the rampant 'Musk Rose' and the low-growing R. gallica. From its French parent, it inherits its coarse, rough leaves -- which are wider than those of R. moschata and its bristly and prickly stems. Its climbing habit and the large,single, white flowers, faintly edged with pink, come from the other side of the family ... colourful autumn hips... suckers freely on its own roots... summer-flowering.

Many  roses are said to have R. moschata as a parent, although we cannot check those statements now. Most of them fall more naturally under other headings, for example the Noisettes among the Indicae; but there is one beautiful rose to be mentioned here: 
 
R.  x dupontii Tall  Blush white  Midsummer      P5   H2  ** 
‘Dupontii’ grows as a spreading shrub, and makes good use of its breadth to cram in as many flowers as it can, whether on high shoots, low shoots, in the middle of the bush or at its limits. The time this abundance is especially seen is during the three years between the plant's establishment and full maturity; which  prompts  the suggestion of thinning out old wood frequently and thoroughly. It is better to look down upon a plant  full of bloom than to look up at a lot of greenery. 
  The flowers are single, creamy white with a faint blush, fragrant and symmetric; the  word that conveys their nature is bridal. The leaves are soft grey green. It is thought to be a cross between R. gallica and R. moschata; it is known to have been in existence in 1817, and is named after Andre Dupont, who was the founder of the rose collection at the  Luxembourg Gardens in Paris, and director until succeeded by Eugene Hardy.
