This is my all-time favorite rose. I have moved it from 4 different residences. It is statuesque; its blooms are lovely and long-lasting; smell great; and the flowers don't look bad even after they're done. It's super healthy and vigorous even after all those moves. In January 2025 it is in the Jackson & Perkins catalogue--the first time I've seen it available in decades. Grab it while you can!	REPLY

I had an introduction year bare root from J&P which I grew in my old Newhall garden for many years. It was a MONSTER! When the garden had to be dismantled due to construction, that beast literally required a backhoe to tear it from the ground. It was enormous and spectacular!	REPLY

I spoke with Jim Mills about White Delight this morning (3/3/2017), he said that he had no idea why White Delight fell out of favor, that it's one of his best roses, that he still has it in his own garden. I told him I need 27 roses for a hedge in Southern California and he said he would be happy to grow them. He buds them in May and they would be available in the fall.

All his roses are grown on Futuriana rootstock. http://www.kandmroses.com/index.htm

If anyone knows where White Delight is currently available, I'd love 27 of them...

I was surprised it wasn't an exhibition favorite. Before Gemini really caught on, you'd see tons of Pristine and similar roses in this color range. Roses with inferior form to White Delight. Heck, you even saw Pascali...more than one should lol.	REPLY

I see that this rose is listed as having a mild fragrance. I think this should be changed. My nose is not very sensitive, but I can smell this one yards away. It is one of the most fragrant in my garden of 1400.	REPLY

Both the two suppliers listed, and the Patent say ‘White Delight’ is only mildly scented. If you are getting a stronger scent, then you are a very lucky lady. Enjoy.	REPLY

I know that some roses have more fragrance at some times and conditions than at others. I would also appreciate hearing from others about their experience with this rose.	REPLY

This is a pretty decent rose from its decade, coming from 2 horrible parents. Go figure. Its a pretty cool color, though.	REPLY
