Gardenia Roses

As you come through the entrance to the garden you see a long eight-foot high fence that is completely covered with 'Gardenia' roses.

These once-blooming roses are a beautiful shade of creamy white with a slight Gardenia fragrance. The rose is quite large and rampant, and only a few plants were needed to completely cover the fence.

'Gardenia' only blooms in the spring, but produces tens of thousands of blooms and its beauty and fragrance are well worth waiting for. When in full bloom it is simply breath-taking.

Two other red roses, 'Dortmund' and 'Red Cascade' are interspersed with "Gardenia" but they are only seen peeking from the white mass of flowers.
