Many climbers take three years to get going, so blooming reasonably well at two years is quite respectable, and it has a pretty bloom. The closest I've come to this rose is having Westside Road Cream Tea in my garden, but I'm glad someone is growing this beauty too.

Thank you Comtesse—-I think if it’s this froo-frooy it’s got to be a “she”! And I think she must have some tea in her background, with the size of her blooms and her fragrance. She’s a Bermuda rose, from the Brightside Estate. Right now, she’s a gangling thing with 7-8 ft. canes in all directions. Here are a few more shots of her; such a pretty apple-green leaf.

Her blloms are in little clusters of four five:

With reddish new growth:

And creamy little buds:

And I’m with you; something about these cream-colored roses makes me want to eat them. :-)

I have Westside Road Cream Tea as well Ingrid—she’s a petite beauty right now. There’s just something very dreamy about the creamy white and green combination. I love these creamy blooms! :-)

Comtesse, you have me hungry for something sweet and creamy now, too! I do have cream in the fridge that really ought to be whipped and used for something.........

Perma, she’s a beauty! Not only are her fluffy blooms lovely, but I can’t get over how clean her foliage is! What immaculate, gorgeous, green leaves your Brightside Cream has. I’m especially impressed, with you being in FL. It’s obviously very suited to your climate to look so healthy and clean w/o spraying. Whatever your doing, keep doing it. Your roses look so happy and healthy.

I too, love those creamy blooms. It’s the sort of color that goes with everything. I have finally stopped worrying about planting cream and white roses near each other. They all vary so much during different times of the year, that it’s not “off” looking. I should have realized sooner that the greens and other colored flowers would help blend them in the landscape. I was struggling with putting the “creams near the whites”, but I was thinking more from a clothing viewpoint. Once I got the “white w/ off-white clothing mentality” out of my head, I started mixing them.

Have you cut any for indoors? Just curious how she does cut. She’s so pretty. Thanks for sharing her with us! Lisa

It is a scrumptious Tea Rose, I love the color and elegance to the bloom. I, too, like whipped cream, ice cream and sugar confections.

isn't, she is beautiful ? I heard great reviews about this rose. It does really well here in FL.
Perma, look at those buds. Wow, you are gonna have tons of blooms. So exciting !! It looks so green and so clean too :)
Beautiful !!

Thank you, Lisa! I know exactly what you mean about the whites & creams. I think there is something about the green that blends it all together. I haven’t cut any BCs yet, but I’m about to, so I’ll let you know.

Thank you, Jin! I’m excited to see what she looks like when all these clusters start opening. And some of the HPs and Bourbons look dreadful right now, so it’s encouraging to see healthy green Somewhere. :-)

Here is Brightside Cream in the Florida Southern College garden, last May. Once it gets going, it flowers pretty much constantly. That is an 8-foot-tall arch. The other rose on it is Nur Mahal.

Malcolm has it....Malcolm it is so big now. Malcolm which month is the prunings..I just can't wait to be there

Perma you have to go there... Dr. Malcom has so many varieties and it breaks my heart to cut the blooms but you can smell them, see them, get prick by them. It is nothing like any gardens here in FL. It is very educational day at school. I learn so much from Dr. Malcolm .

Wow! Dr. Manners, that is gorgeous! Is that two BCs, or is that is different cream rose on the opposite side of the arch? You are absolutely right Jin—-I need to see this garden. Gotta squeeze in a road trip sometime. :-)

Two plants of BSC. One on each side of the arch. FSC's big pruning day is February 9. You are invited!

Wahoo.. I can't wait. Thanks Dr. Manners. I will be there for sure. I am putting in my request day of today. So super excited !!
