| Boule de Neige is new to the garden, planted this past spring. Wonderful fragrance, and it showed signs of very good repeat bloom, even as a newly planted rose.
The pink rose on the right is a Hybrid Perpetual, I think, but might be an Austin, (I need to do better at getting these pics labelled...)
The rose on the left is Marchesa Boccella or Souv. de McKinley.

| Beautiful pics! I swear I can smell rose fragrance! |

| Really gorgeous, Krista. I do believe the one on the left in the back looks a lot like Marchesa Bocella. Boule de Neige is lovely, and what I really like about it is the greenish-yellow center. It's a perfect complement to the color of the rose. Ingrid |

| Krista, I always love your plonks! Boule de Neige is soooo... pretty! Looking at your pics I feel confirmed in my opinion that there is something very special about white roses that can hardly be expressed in words. I am glad that Boule de Neige does already so well for you in her first year in your garden. I wonder what she would think about living in Southern California... Christina |

| Thank you, everyone, for the kind words. |
