ARS:
White, near white or white blend Hybrid Tea.
Bloom:
White; light pink bud. Mild fragrance. 35 petals. Average diameter 4". Large, full (26-40 petals), borne mostly solitary bloom form. Prolific, blooms in flushes throughout the season.
Habit:
Few or no prickles/thorns, upright, well-branched. Medium green, leathery foliage.
Growing:
USDA zone 6b and warmer. Spring Pruning: Remove old canes and dead or diseased wood and cut back canes that cross. In warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by about one-third. In colder areas, you'll probably find you'll have to prune a little more than that.
Notes:
Modern Roses 10 says this rose is extinct. cooketts emails: We have a prolific blooming 'American Pride' and according to the "Combined Rose List" it is only available in India at the current time. The scent though is not strong (as you list) at all but a subtle rose fragrance. This could also be to our climate or fertalization, but it never had a heavy or strong scent. It's only fault is weak necks for such a big bloom.
