White flowering shrub - rose

Another bush that has many white flowering varieties to choose from is the rose.

Roses have a reputation of being hard to grow, and it is true that they get diseases (like black spot) really easily. And the bugs (like aphids and Japanese beetles) really like them!

However, if you’re willing to look past the blemishes (rather than trying to cure them), they actually aren’t any more work than any other type of blooming plant.

And the flowers are worth it, if you ask me!
