This was supposed to be Sunsprite, but was obviously mislabeled. The 3" blooms are creamy white with a touch of yellow in the center. The fully open blooms display lovely yellow stamens. This rose frequently blushes just the slightest bit pink in cool weather and acquires a few extra petals, acquiring a rather old-rose appearance.  It is softly fragrant, although I can only smell it in fully open blooms.

This is a great little rose.  It grows quickly and blooms remarkably well.  The foliage is small, light green and papery.  It is a very shrubby plant, with lots of thin, arching stems.  Very few thorns, mostly near the bottom of the canes.  It is a very attractive little shrub!  No disease problems other than a handful of black spotted leaves.
