Full Blown Rose - John F. Kennedy In my rose garden (very small, only 4 roses, two of which are of this variety), the John F. Kennedy rose is the longest blooming. There may be one or two buds left to open, but when other roses have finished, the J.F.K. is still putting on new growth. The buds have an ivory hue, but when fully opened, the rose is very white.

Your John F. Kennedy rose is a stunner Pat, just gorgeous. Thanks for visiting my blog and identifying the marigold. As soon as I saw that I knew it was something I should have recognized immediately but am so thankful you did. Thank your for sharing and have a great week.
Pure and lovely!
I love white roses, Pat. So your JFK one is really special. How 'bout naming a rose after him??? That is special.
Have a great Sunday.
Hugs,
Betsy
Hi Pat, I also like this color, and when they are in full bloom and just getting ready for the petals to fall, I love to take a photograph.
This is such a lovely rose~ http://miztlee.blogspot.com/2009/08/allow.html
What a lovely flower and photo. Happy Sunday !
Lovely rose. I had forgotten one was named for JFK .
I knew you had lots of lilies but did not know about roses.
Beautiful bloom! Aren't they all?? I haven't seen a flower yet that I didn't think was beautiful.
What a beauty, so pure and delicate! Lovely!

Beautiful rose. Happy Sunday to you.
glorious
I have a white rose bush that also blooms longer than any of my others. I thinks it's called "Bright White." It's always anice addition to a bouquet. JFK is lovely.
Can't go wrong with a pretty rose that doesn't want to stop flowering!
Life is like a rose . . .
More exquisite and precious,
When shared with others.
Great pictures!!
How beautiful.
Nice white rose, Pat! I didn't know it's name.
Thanks for your visit, I appreciate.
Have a good week!
That's a beautiful rose. Lovely shot.
A beautiful elegant white flower captured :)
Gorgeous flower, Pat. Roses are beautiful flowers, but I was never successful in keeping them. Still I am not a diamond person either and I prefer roses.
JFK is one of the most beautiful white rose. Thanks for sharing.
Of the whites, JFK is one of my favourites as well. Mt.Shasta is another but much taller growing.
lovely white rose flower.
Your white rose has a glorius name.It's beautiful.
Beautiful rose. Thanks for sharing it with us. I have some Arkansas posts that you might enjoy reading when you have time. I hope you will join me at diningwithdebbie.blogspot.com for Crock Pot Wednesday. Mr. Linky will be up on Tuesday for your link. Thanks for posting.
A beautiful rose. Isn't it lovely how some roses do change colour as they open and age.
the perspective made it appear like a sad flower
How interesting that you posted the JFK rose just before Ted Kennedy passed on...
That is a beautiful rose and how timely...
Pretty.
Such a lovely close-up shot. Very lovely
