This latest shrub rose introduction from Bill Radler redefines flower power. Always in bloom, the contrast between the deep dark, almost black foliage and the abundance of cream white flowers is staggering. Very compact and extremely disease resistant, it is the closest thing to a White Knock Out, and by far the best white shrub rose Star Roses/The Conard Pyle Co. has introduced. They bloom from early spring to late fall, and require no special care to grow. Used individually, in mixed borders, mass plantings, hedge plantings, foundation planting, in perennial gardens or even containers, this trouble free shrub
rose suits any lifestyle.
