In my nursery 'Snow Pavement' often shows a subtle shading of the white flowers with lavender. Its so subtle that I would doubt my eyes except that so many customers have commented on it. Andrew Van Cleve of Azalea House Flowering Shrub Farm

We had a Snow Pavement in a previous garden that had a definite pale lilac blush. It was much taller than listed - easily 5 feet tall.

What zone were you in (and state) and how much sun? I have 3, will need to move one and now nervous they will get too big for spots. Thanks

Just picked my first bloom today -- pale lavender and intense delicious fragrance. SP is a 4 yo in full sun and blooms will fade to a white in a day or so, altho occasionally it will retain a pinkish cast to the blooms if the weather remains cool. It is a densely branching 3 x 4.

'Pavement' is a misnomer. This gets huge. It would be a good choice for a dense, thorny hedge, where that might be needed. If you are in a climate too cold for Mermaid, try this one. Flower color and fragrance are as described above.

The Poet’s Wife did not survive in my zone 5 garden. It was killed back quite heavily after the first winter, and didn’t make it through the second.

Thank you for your report on winter hardiness. I lost many roses in my zone 5a winter, esp. with freezing & heavy rain in late April.

FRULINGSGOLD took its good time to come into its full glory in my garden. At 17 years, it is finally the blowsy beauty it is reputed to be.

This entry seems to have an error. Cornhill Nursery in New Brunswick is definitely not in zone 7a! I think they are actually zone 4.
