When I was born my parents planted a white Charlotte rose bush for me. My name is Charlotte and my mom is a horticulture teacher at my school so naturally she found something to plant for my birth. 3 years later my brother was born. One day I was working with my grandfather down the road when my brother who was 5 and my older cousin who was an 11 year old male at the time decided to destroy my white charlotte rose bush. For years we have been looking for a new white rose bush but we have not been able to find one. Does anyone in my area have a white rose bush that they are giving away or selling?

If you Google "white roses" you will find tons of white roses.

There are also Charlotte roses but they appear to be yellow

"Rosa 'Charlotte' is a compact shrub rose with an upright habit and lush green foliage. In summer it bears masses of cup-shaped, soft-yellow flowers with a strong tea-rose fragrance."

good luck finding this plant in your area. you may have better luck checking out craigslist or posting a wanted ad there, and as mentioned g*Gl, maybe face*b*k too i really don't know what they are like as i've never had a fb account.

the "Buy, Sell, Trade" Forum is probably more fitting for this post, but i guess we don't need to be too pedantic about these things... :)

i spent a lot of time as a kid gardening roses and we had a nice location for them on the east side of the house. where i am at now is not very good for roses unless you have a very hardy rot resistant type. what survives are the types that grow from the root stocks of the more genteel grafted ones that give up after a few years.
