As of May 1, 2021, Stargazer Perennials is selling this rose via Amazon. If you type in Stargazer Perennials Pearlescent Rose Plant into the search bar, the listing comes up. My experience is that they sell out fairly quickly, so grab it while you can. These are own root bands, very healthy and well grown, I've purchased several varieties from them the past couple of years, and they have all grown quickly and thrived. UPDATE: As of 6 Days later, (May 7), they have sold out. However, they're now offering Pinkerbelle and Oh Happy Day, among other varieties. They seem to have a revolving door of little-available (at least locally) varieties.

I like to quote a reference to show where information came from. I can’t find ‘Pearlescent’ - can we have an URL please.

Codename (RADfragwhite) for Milwaukee's Calatrava matches Pearlescent in Heirloom's directory.

Star Roses should be paying us for doing their dirty work ;]

But there are some good’uns. I learnt recently that we have a nursery in Australia who has actually donated to HelpMeFind. And I heard the same nursery was passing a public garden and stopped and offered to take the prunings away. I have to say a public thank you to Wagners Rose Nursery.

Disappointing in public garden here in hot, humid SE Virginia. Poor bloom, lot of dieback despite mild winter, and extensive defoliation. It was chosen for an organic rose garden; we have yet to find a really good white.

Which ones have you tried?

We have tried Flower Carpet White, Rugosa Blanc Double de Coubert, and Marie Daly (blush). I need to correct myself and say that Lions Rose (Lions Fairy Tale) is highly satisfactory; but with an apricot blush in the center the effect is more cream colored than pure white. Spice is wonderfully healthy and an almost continuous bloomer but again, not pure white.
Souvenir de St. Ann's has proven very shade tolerant; rebloom is only fair. We have lost some SDSA to freeze damage. (We also lost an entire group of Mystic Beauty which is a very pale pink, like SDLM)
The current design doesn't allow room for Darlow's Enigma or Ducher, both of which are a very pure white.
The gazebo in the center of the garden provides a pop of pure white; it is surrounded by Peach Drift. It's used for weddings so there are no climbers on it, to provide good sight lines all round.

Pascali is supposed to be bulletproof, if you can live with the lack of scent.
I'm currently trying White Ensign in the subtropics. It's looking promising, but I haven't had it long enough to give good feedback.

Have you considered 'White Medilland'?, which is pure white and, in VA, should be an almost continuous bloomer?

We are looking for a bushy chest-high shrub which is highly blackspot resistant. Currently we are considering the Kordes floribunda 'Polar Express'. Fortunately ARE has it. I am hoping to see Polar Express in a public garden somewhere.
MK was a disaster for us and we have at least eight of them in a very prominent position.

My favorite so far is Lullaby, if you can get it. Mine is growing fine next to a pine tree, which nothing else thrives next to lol.

I also like Lullaby, but if you want big, like big enough for a pergola, then go with Darlow's Enigma -- It's excellent. But it does set hips and therefore best blooming will be if someone takes off the hips occasionally.
