Rosa wardii Southeastern Tibet. The species is represented in cultivation by:
var. culta (Kingdon Ward) Although this form has been in cultivation since 1924, it has never become widely known. Probably a rose that acquired the nickname "white moyesii" would not be likely to become popular, but the beauty and refinement of the solid, creamy-white blooms with their rich mahogany red central disc and yellow stamens leave little to be desired....it is of pretty, arching growth with light green leaves of moyesii persuasion, reaching perhaps 6 feet by 6 feet. Almost thornless.
