This variety has fluffy white flowers that don't really look all that green (at least in my area). But watch out for its thorns, which are plentifull and needle-like -- and will gladly embed themselves in your fingers if you aren't careful.

'Green Ice' covers itself with blooms. If you lift the blooms from the top layer, you will see plenty of green blooms and will see how it got its name. This rose does particularly well in the shade where the green shows more vividly. Smiles, Lyn, helpmefind.com |

The put-it-in-the-shade thing could explain it. I have it in VERY full sun that I describe as a three-way switch (as on a lamp): full sun, rain, and night.

Potted Roses
I don't have a garden, hence everything's gotta grow in a pot. Catch is, the terrace seems to get too much direct sunlight to grow miniature roses. I describe the light as a three-way switch: a) full sun, b) bad weather, and c) night.
That said, does anyone have advice for selecting full-size potted plants?

Miniature roses love heat as much as larger roses. The temps in my area have been in the high 90s and low 100s daily for the last two months. I have about 100 miniature roses in containers which are all thriving. I have only had to place two roses in semi-shade to help them perform better.
The key to growing the roses in that kind light and heat is to use the biggest pot you can, water daily and make sure you have excellent drainage. On a terrace, the drainage issue is the most difficult to solve. If you must put a saucer under your pots to catch excess water, raise the container so that it does not sit in the water.
Good luck with your roses.
Smiles,
Lyn

A history lesson:
"Étendard" is the French word for "standard," as in, "banner." During her trial, Joan of Arc testified to the effect that she loved her banner much more than her sword. She is often depicted with both.

Has anyone had any (good/bad) luck with this rose in a pot? Specifically, in NYC?
