Post #6925001

I'm interested in learning more about which white varieties do best. I have Henryi and also Candida and I like them both--Candida has produced more blooms, but both have been fast growers. I plan to purchase a few more whites and would like to hear about your favorites. I'm considering G2's and G3's.

I love white as a contrast to darker colors, so I'm considering pairing a white with a purple or red. It will be in the sun. I don't like my choice of pairing Kermasina with Henryi, because one is very small and one is large. But, they didn't bloom at the same time either. Henryi, although a G2, can be pruned either way, and they have separate collars, so that has not been a problem.

Is there an early, large flowering white that would look good with Rebecca? When I can get another Tie Dye, I may put it with a white as well.

I tried to buy Guernsey Cream recently, but it was not available. Of course, nothing much is available right now. I'd love to hear your suggestions.
