Pearlescent (RADfragwhite)
A continuous bloomer with a powerful citrus fragrance, Pearlescent is one of the most strongly scented white roses in this year's new releases. Bred by William Radler (the creator of the Knock Out rose series), this shrub rose produces fully double flowers that are pure white in summer, taking on a light pink blush as the weather cools in autumn. It's that seasonal shift that gives the rose its name: a soft, luminous quality that changes with the light and the temperature.
The bush grows to about 1.4 m tall and 90 cm–1.2 m wide, with dark blue-green foliage. It is incredibly hardy, healthy and disease resistant. Pearlescent performs well in both garden beds and pots, which makes it versatile for smaller spaces and courtyard gardens as well as larger borders. The flowers are good for cutting too, and their petals can be dried.
If fragrance is high on your list of priorities, Pearlescent deserves attention. The strong citrus-flower scent carries well in the garden and is equally good in a vase indoors.
