Another mystery to mom and me-- she found it at Quality Farm & Fleet in the bare root rose bin. Lisa's Rose Garden kindly provided the lovely pictures on the left and right. Lisa says this rose is quite lovely with clear white blossoms. The roses last well for about two weeks. She tells me that there is a light pink sport of Summer Snow called "Pink Revelation."
Our three shrubs are clustered together to make a bigger show between Leonardo da Vinci and Maiden Voyage. The hardiness of this rose is not known, so I buried the bud union six inches deep.
