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.

ReplyDeleteYour 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.
ReplyDeletePure and lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love white roses, Pat. So your JFK one is really special. How 'bout naming a rose after him??? That is special.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Sunday.
Hugs,

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.

ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteCan't go wrong with a pretty rose that doesn't want to stop flowering!
ReplyDeleteLife is like a rose . . .
ReplyDeleteMore exquisite and precious,

ReplyDeleteGorgeous 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.
ReplyDeleteJFK is one of the most beautiful white rose. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOf the whites, JFK is one of my favourites as well. Mt.Shasta is another but much taller growing.
