'Snowcone ™' rose Reviews & Comments

Creamy, pointed buds open to pure white, dainty blooms that flower profusely in unusual, cone-shaped, hydrangea-like clusters on a compact, rounded bush. The tiny, sparkling white petals set against dark green, glossy foliage grow quickly to become the perfect garden accent in mixed beds. Excellent vigor, reblooming and disease resistance.

What I'd really like to know from Jackson & Perkins is a classification for this rose. Shrub? Miniature? Mini-flora? Thanks!

shrub, according to J & P's 2008 wholesale catalog

It's a shrub, but it definitely has the gene for miniaturization. In essence, it's a miniature, perpetual-blooming, non-rambling version of Rosa wichurana.
It has absolutely no visual appeal beyond "cute", but it's a good rose on its own merit.

In general, I've never expected much from J & P with respect to disease resistance--but Snowcone has proved an exception. It has been healthy for 4 summers--even avoiding the ravages of leafspot that plague so many roses in my climate. It has remained essentially clean and has made it through 3 winters in Z 3B (hopefully soon to be 4 winters if the snow ever melts) with no protection other than 2 inches of wood mulch in the fall.

"The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of a shrub rose plant named `JACwipet` which was originated by me by crossing the variety `NOAtraum` (U.S. Plant Pat. No.7,282), with an unnamed white shrub seedling (not patented) (`POULcov` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,648).times.`POULcat` (not patented))."
