Kent, Single White Rose

white rose Kent

This is a groundcover rose - a little lacking with scent, but makes a great backdrop to some of the more fancy varieties. It can also work on the patio.

One thing I like about this rose is the tendency to discolor the petals to a lovely pale pink. This is quite noticeable on the accompanying picture.
