I could not find White Lightin' in nurseries in Ausitn, TX. Also tried
some
on line stores. No luck. Do somebody know of some on line store where I
can
get White Lightin? (Other roses I have decided to get this year
are Hot cocoa, Fragrant Cloud and Vetrens honor).

Hi Shiva,

Thanks. I already have Europeana. Yes, Europena is one of the best rose
bushes I have.
But mine grows to around 4-4.5 feet. Do I have to maintain it at 3' when
dead heading?
What about Gene Boerner? That also grows to about 5'. I am planning to
add
some
more red and white. Let me check out White Lightnin' and Scentiemental.
I am also planning to get Fragrant cloud and Hot cocoa.

I am in Zone 9 and like to get ideas. I am looking for rose bushes
(red
and
white)
that are not more than 3-4 feet tall.

It does not get any better than Europeana for a red floribunda.
Wonderful
bushy shape, never out
of bloom, perfect clear red color and stayed at 3 feet here in Zone 7.
Little to know fragrance fo
my nose but some say it does have fragrance. Best fragrant white rose
that
blooms in sprays and
stays at about 3-4 feet here is White Lightnin'. Fabulous lemony
scented
rose, stays in bloom,
laughs at disease, out vigors fungus, even. I also love Scentiemental
for
its fragrance and
totally unique blooms of stripey, brush strokey burgundy and white,
but
it
blows if you look at it
two hard. I grow three.
