'Blanc de Vibert' rose Reviews & Comments
HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.
Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.
We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.
Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..
We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.
As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Left unpruned or lightly pruned this rose can get pretty enormous: mine is currently about 10' x 12'. It was planted back around 2004 or 2007; it's in too much shade and may be trying to get out to the sun; I didn't get around to pruning it last winter. It's a massive shrub, healthy, but has never bloomed well, tending to set a lot of buds but then not opening them in great numbers. The lack of sun may be a problem.

The Magazine of horticulture, botany, and all useful discoveries, Volume 23 page 263 (June 1857)
The Rose.--No. 5
Prof. C. G. Page, Washington, D. C.
It cannot be thought chimerical to look forward for roses combining the qualities of constant-blooming, strong-growing, fine forms, colors and odors, entire hardiness and even thornless branches, where art shall reverse the lover's lament by stealing the thorn and leaving the rose. This latter quality has been fully attained in the hybrid perpetuals, Delphine Gay and Blanche Vibert, and nearly so in William Griffith, one of the most perfect roses grown. I have seen vigorous shoots of it, six feet high, without a thorn.
