| [NorCA 9B] [Compare Similar Roses] I realize that there are many roses that have similar characteristics but some of them just have the gold medal quality compared to their peers. So for people who have small gardens  but want to have as many varieties as possible, knowing this information will be a great help because instead of planting 5 roses that have similar characteristics, we can pick the best one out of 5 and save the extra rooms for the next 4 winners. For instance, there are similarities between Peace and Love & Peace so some info like this and images will be very helpful. Similar Roses: Peace Love & Peace Please share your knowledge and I hope as this thread grows it will help many gardeners in their rose selection process. Thank you. |

| Little White Pet, hands down. It is a polyantha which, even when mature, stays 2-2 1/2 feet high and across. Blooms are perfect white very double rosettes - always perfect. Here it blooms 10 months of the year and is always healthy. Jackie |

| Thank you Jackie! |

| Although I haven't grown it, Bolero seems to be universally praised as being an almost perfect white floribunda. |

| For a small garden, which I have, several favorites of mine stand out. They remain small, so you can trust their size descriptions, have beautiful blooms, and shapely growth habits. At the top of my list is Bernstein-Rose from Tantau, a very dependable yellow, meant to echo the much larger Julia Child in my garden. I have three of these. Here's a close up first. Diane |

| Other favorite of mine for a small garden are Austin's, Tamora, The Prince, and the Romantica climber, Colette. Here's Tamora. Diane |
