Beautiful...I planted my first white...JFK...hope it's as lovely.

I've heard great reviews of this one. Pretty bud.

Does anyone know where I can find a Bolero rose in the Washington, DC area? I searched my local nurseries in the Bethesda area and have been unsuccessful.

In dc area also and typically just mail order since the rose selection is very limited. There is a thread on the antique roses forum regarding reputable rose nurseries. The help me find website may help narrow down who offers this.

I got mine from Rose Unlimited. They are great. I highly recommend it,

I planted Bolero this past winter and so far I am quite impressed! It is a good bloomer, healthy plant and I love love love the blooms (love white roses!) I will see how it does this summer and if it survives my heat, it is destined to be one of my favorites. Great rose.

Mine is grafted, probably on Dr Huey.

Have you smelled it yet? Hint, hint.

The smell is divine! With Sharifa Asma as a parent, you can definately smell the similarity. I had Sharifa but it got huge (6ft) and super thorny. Bolero is perfect.
I hope you love it too!

Oh! Sharifa is a parent. I didn't know that.
Your Bolero looks heavenly!! Does it have a bit of pink in the center or is that my imagination? Wish I could smell it!!

The bud of bolero has some hint of pink. But when it opens, it is almost all white, as you can see from the picture.

Such a beauty!! I love the little petals against the big ones.
