    I think the question was answered -- and it is also addressed here: Why are my roses changing color? from Michigan State University Extension:

    i do however have a small climbing rose that belonged to my dad, it is a beautiful rose, although the leaves and the rose is very small, it is still a beautiful sight to see when in bloom, i have a wood box built for it to climb through, its about 7 feet tall, and the rose growes over the top and looks like a big white clode at a distance, i don"t no the name or what vanirty it is, but i will keep it, it apears to me that i wasted my money on the other five roses,as i don"t have the time to put that much work into them, and there are many different flowers that are just as nice.

    could anyone tell me how old this rose could be, and it"s orgin, thanks ray, in wv
