More information

In cold climates, this shrub flowers very early: Nevada and the Fruhling series are among the first roses to bloom in Germany in late spring. The flowers are large and single, with loosely arranged pale cream petals that quickly fade to white. Yellow stamens define the flower’s appearance. The shoots are long and arching, drooping as the bush matures, with large white, saucer-like blooms spaced along their full length. The plant needs several years to reach its stated size; in hot climates it can grow up to 5 metres, and due to its winter hardiness the cultivar is recommended for growers in Scandinavia. The foliage is fine and can be affected by black spot. In hot weather, the flowers sometimes turn pink with age.

Hybrid moyesii. Blooms profusely with large single flowers up to 7.5 cm in diameter. The white petals are often pink-tinged, contrasting with the golden stamens. The shoots are purple. A vigorous variety, sometimes used as a climber in warm climates. Some susceptibility to black spot. Not completely winter hardy; frost damage may occur. Winter covering is recommended.

Nevada has pink or apricot buds that open into large white flowers about 10 cm in diameter with crimson spots on the reverse. The flowers are single, weather-resistant, borne in clusters on short pedicels, covering the entire bush. The foliage is bright green and usually disease-resistant. In humid climates, black spot can appear at the end of the season without prevention. The bush is tall, reaching 2 metres in most climates. The rose is seldom without bloom and combines traits of wild species with those of modern shrubs.
