'Blanche de Belgique' rose Reviews & Comments

|
I'm wondering about Blanche de Belgique and resistance to blackspot. I came across comments on a gardening forum where someone in Italy said their plant had trouble with blackspot. I am just outside New York City, and our summers get plenty of rain and lots of humidity. Anything prone to blackspot will get it here (and I only use organic practices). I would love to plant this rose, but don't want to unless I am more certain it can thrive here.

For all bad fungus (powdery mildew, blackspot, and the killer Downey mildew, I use 3 cups cornmeal slightly dug or fluffed into the soil (so birds don’t eat it all) and watered in. In a hotter climate you might repeat 2x a year but this kills all soil spores and fixes the problem with no chemicals and no spraying. In a last ditch effort to save what was left of someone else’s potted roses, I tried this for Downey mildew. Nothing else had worked for me before, but this did and saved most of the affected roses. If you can get an agricultural grade (often sold in 30 and 50 lb sacks) it is significantly cheaper than grocery store stuff!

Could it be that this rose is also called Mme Legrais de St. Germain?
It is on the web site of www.tuincentrumlottum.nl/index.cfm?fuseaction=zoeken.zoekresultaat and it looks just like this one!

I planted this rose in my Zone 6b CT garden last year as a band and I'm finding it to be vigorous, healthy, and a very prolific bloomer for its first flowering season. The flowers are pure white without a hint of pink. Very impressive!
