How badly can this (and the similar Alba Maxima) be affected by rust, and does it cause a lot of infections in nearby plants? I understand that this rose itself is tough enough to shrug it off, but I'm worried it might cause me problems elsewhere where I don't currently have any.
This is a striking rose. Blue-green foliage and clean-white blooms. Although blooming only once, the surge is one to anticipate. The golden stamens amid the clear white semi-double petals make a refreshing presentation. The bush is robust and will not require coaxing. Foliage is disease resistant and is one of the shrub's best attributes. It is good against a fence or wall. Prune after bloom to promote new growth for next year's blooms.
