I have Pascali and she is a pretty rose not inclined to blackspot. They are small blooms and pointed petals. Very pretty.

What zone are you in? I am considering Pascali, but I was worried about blackspot. I live in zone 7, and the summers here are very hot and humid.

I am in zone 7.Yes humidity and BS are a problem. I have had a Crystalline with mediocre results. I am interested in Pascali because it is in the Rose Hall of Fame. If I could determine that Pascali is likely to do well here I will give it a try. Would have to order from an out of the area location because, to my knowledge, this rose is typically not carried by local nurseries and I am reluctant to by friom Lowes/HomeDepot

I absolutely adore this rose! It's my favorite white tea. I buy only from growers who offer plants grown on their own root stock. It does well here in Bisbee, Arizona. I have also grown it in two gardens in California.

I have ordered from this place several times and they always send me exactly what I ordered. They sell own root roses, and they are quite large and very healthy when they send them to me. Just this year I ordered 4 roses. They called me about two of them saying they were not wanting to send 2 of them just yet do to them not being very healthy. They said they could ship them May 1st, or refund my money. I decided to let them ship in May because I really want those roses. I just wanted to comment that they are the only ones that have ever called! Most other nurseries would just send you crappy roses, but not Northland Rosarium! They are excellent!

I just wanted to tell of my experience with Geoff Hamilton. I bought it at Lowe's near the end of June about 3 years ago. They had some plants that were marked more than half price because they were practically dead. Geoff looked pretty bad, but I saw a picture of what it was supposed to look like and had to buy it.
Geoff Hamilton has been one of my best roses so far. The rose recovered beautifully and was blooming by the end of July. The only problem I have in zone 7 is blackspot, and as long as I spray, it's not a problem, but the other problem is the thrips love the light pink blooms. Still, the rose is breathtaking and one of my favorites, and the scent is a beautiful light scent. It blooms its head off from spring to frost.
