White (shaded in light pink)
ARS rating: (8.6)               1977 introduced by Warriner
Positives:  good re-bloom, but not prolific, and delightful in yard (as above) or vase.  Very Large decorative flowers.  Deep green, leathery foliage.

The plant is often over 5 feet tall, and 2.7 feet across.  Usually one bloom per stem.  The fragrance light, and the petal count 25-30.

It is suitable for exhibiting, but seldom blooms in time for the CRS spring shows (garden in SE CT).

Very much recommended- the color and texture are outstanding!
