Moon River
Shrub, Groundcover
Origin - Kordes (1996)
Parentage - 'Yesterday' x ('Sea Foam' x 'Red Max Graf')
Color - White
Foliage - Dark green, glossy
Thorns - Strong
Size - 2' - 3' h. x 4' - 6' w.
Fragrance - Light
Repeat bloom - Yes
Disease resistance - Fair
Hardiness - Zone 5
Bought on a whim, mostly because I liked the name, I planted this rose and didn't pay much attention to it until it bloomed the following year. In full bloom, it can be an eye catcher, with massive clusters of single snow white blooms covering the entire bush. It is a low grower and works nicely at the front of a border. As summer progresses, the plant always invites a fungal disease and usually languishes for the remainder of the year, often completely defoliated. However, it always returns vigorously the next spring with an another outstanding floral display. Recommended with caution, purchase only if you don't mind the scraggly appearance in late summer or are willing to use the sprayer.
