Summer Snow has been the best rose in my garden. The foliage is glossy med/lime green and pretty much disease-free (only sprayed X 2), no pests. The plant is well branched and leafed-out with 3" pure white flowers in sprays of 3-5, continuous bloom, 3' tall and 2'wide. A pretty plant--no bare knees. Not too prickly. This well behaved rose would make a nice low hedge as it really needs no shaping. I'll buy more to dot throught the rose beds as a little white to show off all the other colors. Highly recommended No-Fuss rose. Performs as well as a Knock Out!
I'm surprised that this rose is not a common, available variety.
2-6-11 This rose strikes very easily and I see no difference in growth or vigor between grafted and own-root plants. I don't spray this rose anymore...doesn't need it.

I agree. This rose is amazing. I live in the tropics, and with all the heat, humidity and rain, it just blooms and blooms! I have it in a 5-gallon pot as an own-root plant and it does amazingly well. By far the best rose in my garden in terms of bloom quantity and frequency as well as foliage health. It has some blackspot in some leaves but nothing to worry about, it's so vigorous. My other roses in pots suffer from some nutrient deficiency but not this one (neither does Rambling Rector), I guess it's not as sensitive to nutrient deficiency as other roses. Big plus!

I have seen a rose labled 'summer snow' in the rose garden to the front and right as you approach the castle from Main St. at Walt Disney World in Orlando. My problem is that this rose is in continuous bloom and does not seem to be just a repeat bloomer. Also, the rose is white tinged with pink. All of the photos I find for 'summer snow' clearly show a white rose as one would expect from the name. Is there any help you can offer me to reconcile what appears to be a discrepency, or is it possible that these roses I am seeing have mutated? The roses appear to be fairly old when one looks the base of the plants. I have spent an extened amount of time in Disney World recently (off and on for 9 weeks during a 5 month period from Aug. to Dec)and these roses were covered with blooms until I went back at the end of Feb. during which time almost no roses were in bloom in any of the parks but one at MGM. Any help you can offer would be very much appreciated.

This is about white roses in general. Depending on the nutrience they recieve in any given year, they can have a subtle pink cast to the edge or even pink spots. This has been my experience with both Honor, John F. Kennedy and Frau Karl Druschki.
