Do you mean poor disease resistance as in growing disease or resistant. I’m in Northwest Florida so curious.

Hi. The plant is very beautiful, it's a pity that the flowers turn brown with age and with rain, and in that case it takes on an unpleasant appearance. In my garden it is quite healthy there is only a slight black spot.

Updated information:
Bonzer ripper, mate.
One of the few unmitigated success stories so far.
Cheerful, healthy, vigorous, well-covered in leaves.
Would definitely get another, or two or three.

It also grows very well and healthily in climates that are cool and wet in summer, but only grows about 1 metre high. As good as any modern rose

But it can ball, which is surprising (to me) for a little flower. I don't recall Narrow Water doing that, and would therefore consider it the better option.

The problem with this rose is that with so much rain the flowers all turn brown and unfortunately in my area May is the month of rain. It becomes a large rose.

Hi. Just became a member and I have a question. I grew some roses many years ago and want to start growing them again. I'm very interested in two bourbons and cannot make up my mind as to which one. First, Mme. Earnest Calvat or Boule de Neige. I'm in northeastern Ohio, zone 5b and I want very fragrant roses. I love both roses forms, but, I've read that BdN is not very fragrant, yet, it is disease resistant, where MEC is not. I've done as much reading as I can find on both roses. Can anyone growing BdN give me any information on it's scent and the strength of it? I would sure appreciate it as BdN is a more practical rose for me, but, if it's not very fragrant I will pass it up.

Boule de Neige ist very fragrant, has strong Bourbon/Centifolia fragrance. Also very disease resistant. It will definitely need winter protection in zone 5b though. If I had to chose between BdN and MEC, I would go with BdN.

Thank you, Frenzy I appreciate the info. I'm in zone 6a and I've read that BDN is winter hardy to zone 5. What is confusing is different nurseries say different things about it. Angel Gardens says it is slightly fragrant and Peter Beale says strong rose scent. When I made the first post I assumed I was still in zone 5 and later found out it's changed to 6. However, I plan on giving all my new roses winter protection for the first year. BND has a smaller rose, but, the shape is just beautiful as are her buds.

I don’t do any winter protection here in Spokane (my yard is very cold; likely more zone 5 than 6). It usually sails through just fine it’s on the east side of the house.

For my white roses I ended up getting Madame Plantier, an Alba, and am ordering Madame Hardy as soon as one comes available. I am also getting Konigin Von Danemark ( Queen of Denmark), also and Alba because of their disease resistance and beautiful blooms and fragrance. I planted Madame Plantier late last summer and I worried about it dying over the winter, but, it's leafing out beautifully and looking very healthy, though, small.
Thank you for your reply, princess.

Both Heirloom Roses and High Country Roses have Konigin Von Danemark. It's such a beautiful rose I don't care if it only blooms once a year. Both roses are sold out right now, but, will be available soon, so, keep lookiing at these sites or put in a wish for them and they will email you when they are ready.

The scent of boule de neige varies greatly with the temperatures, if it is hot it is very light and barely perceptible, at least to my nose. Its growth is very straight. Madame plantier here is very resistant while madame hardy often gets sick at the end of the season and to my nose it smells little. Konigin Von Danemark is very beautiful in my opinion but it blooms little.

I will be disappointed if KVD blooms little, but, I love the rose and I love how hardy it is against cold. I had to cut my hybrid teas almost down to the ground this year because we had a much colder winter than usual. My bad for not protecting them. I never did get Madame Hardy or Boule de Neige. My Madame Plantier is not bothered by our winters and is doing fantastic. I love the old roses.

I found Konigen Von Danemark at High Country Roses on it's own roots. It sells out quickly, so, I asked for notification by putting my email in on it. It's doing great...we had a wickedly cold winter and it stayed green through it all. No damage. I planted it late, in September, so, when winter hit it was still small. I was afraid it might not make it, but, it had no problems. I'm in zone 6 A.
