Safrano. It is cream and in late fall, more pink apricot undertones appear.

Crocus roses in my yard are whiter with only yellow undertones.

Safrano! I forgot about that one! They have one at Duke Gardens, which doesn't spray for fungus and therefore has been a good indication of healthy roses in the area. I haven't been back this year, but maybe I should go see how the spring flush is doing ...

Does anyone on the East coast have experience with Westside Road Cream Tea?

Alexander Hill Gray comes to mind. My climate is very different and I don't know how it would do for you, but it's a very pretty rose. I no longer have it because the area where it grew became too crowded, but I'd love to have it again.

I've been looking at cream colored teas a lot lately, trying to figure out a mystery rose. See if any of these might work for you. How about Rubens? I think this could be what I have. It's called white but the color is a soft creamy white with a little blush here. No blackspot and seems to winter well without excessive dieback so far. Also, what about the Hubner Plot Tea? That one might be hard to find but I think that Jeri has grown this one in California. She might know how well it would handle humidity and winter. The pictures are memorable and remind me of Rubens. What about Soncy, a found Bermuda rose? Its yellow is soft and pale and looks cream. It seems to be a smaller tea. What about Devoniensis? I remember that Christopher (Aquaeyes) grew this one in z 7 and Malcom Manners recommended it. It is a smaller tea and so pretty, looking a little pinker or yellower depending on the weather. If you have room for a mannerly climber, what about Brightside Cream? It's also a found Bermuda rose that may have noisette behind it too. I wish I had the space to add all of these but teas do well for me only in certain spots and they are currently filled. Good luck on your search!

A great recent Tea is Faith Whittlesey. It has other genetics than just Tea, but behaves typically for the class. Always in heavy bloom. By itself you'd say it was white, but up next to something like Ducher, there is definitely a bit of yellow/cream cast to it.

What region were these photos of Faith Whittlesey taken in?

Dr. Manners is in Florida.

Spectograph, yes, on the campus of Florida Southern College, in Lakeland.

Faith Whittlesey has to be one of the most gorgeous and floriferous white roses around. This rose is certainly on my radar now.

I’m growing Westside Road Cream Tea, in NE FL. It’s a moderate grower, in its second year, and very healthy in my no-spray garden. Beautiful creamy white blooms. Unfortunately I don’t have photos—it’s a very short rose right now. :-)
