an Earthkind rose, very easy to grow, maintain and propagate. My shrubs are 4'x 4' and growing. I have one onto which I've draped clematis Jackmanii. Since vine is still young, not a stunning effect yet, but just a matter of time.

One of the very few China whites grown commercially. I bought mine at the Seminole Springs Nursery. Own root here in FL, and reputedly very resistant to black spot. Floriferous, rapid upright growth. Fragrant.
Update August: Ducher has bloomed all summer, with no disease though I never spray it for black spot. Has never drooped, despite some scorching days here. If you're looking for a low-water, low-maintenance white, Ducher is a great one.
