Niphetos Rose.—The Journal des Roses says that the German name, Niphetos—snow—expressively indicates the soft, tender white of this rose.

As in the case of other roses, there have been times when it has been insisted on that it "is only some other well known kind."
At one time there was great argument that it was identical with Duchess Matilda. One of its great merits is that it suffers less from over moisture and cold than some others.
