I have to say that this rose has blooms that are a nice white and great urn shape with hight center. I however do not like the small scraggley branches that make the bush unattractive and the blooms are on the small side for me and I do not remember any fragrance. The bush blooms in flushes and seems to have a long wait between flushes.

My Crystalline is now four years old. It has always had blight botrytis since it's first year, and I have finally been able to cure it's botrytis without breaking my bank account. I am using Captan fungicide which is relatively inexpensive powder I mix one TBSP per gallon of water. Now I get the crystal white beautiful blooms I have wanted all along. The blooms have a beautiful shape and good fragrance as well. It seems to handle my zone 5/6 winters with relative ease and now that it is healthy, I would recommend it to anyone wanting a good white HT rose. This rose has also been used extensively by hybridyzers as it sets hips easily and has a high seed count and germination rate as well. All-around this is a very nice rose to enjoy for many reasons.
