In greenhouse culture, this plant has a free branching, upright and vigorous growth habit with an abundant production of foliage of medium size.

This new rose cultivar originated at Orland, Calif., as a sport of the variety "Lady Diana" (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,360) and was discovered by me in the summer of 1983. The size and clear white color of the flowers prompted me to reproduce this new plant by budding at Orland with very favorable results and subsequent propagation, also by budding, at Pleasanton, Calif., clearly demonstrated that the distinctive characteristics of this new plant would hold true from generation to generation and appeared to be firmly fixed.
My new variety of rose plant is illustrated by the accompanying full color photographic drawings which show a full face view of a newly opened flower in FIG. 1, a group of four stems illustrating the development of the blossom from newly opened bud to fully opened flower in FIG. 2, and in FIG. 3, specimens of wood, top and bottom views of leaves and a bud on which the sepals are just beginning to divide.
The following is a detailed description of my new variety of rose based upon observations of greenhouse plants grown at Orland, Calif., the color designations being made according to The R.H.S. Colour Chart published by The Royal Horticultural Society at London, England.
