When we first moved into our house I had a dream of only having white flowers and roses around the house. I soon got tired of this idea and started buying color. But I still have some very beautiful flowers left from my moon garden dream. One of those flowers is the floribunda rose "Moondance". I purchased three of them from Jackson & Perkins, bare-root. They are now going on 4 years old and very vigorous. Yes, they get blackspot but when they are in full-health they are glorious.
The color is pure white on the outside and soft butter yellow in the middle. The rose turns more white as it fades. The foliage is a very dark green.

Moondance plays nicely with others

Hi Winnie2, I just discovered your blog! I love your 'Moondance'. Such a lovely white rose! In my first garden I planted this rose, too, and a year or so after that we moved. So I never saw it growing up completely, but I loved it already as a young plant. Seeing your photos makes me really miss it!

Thanks so much for checking out my blog Christina! I love reading Organic Garden Dreams. I like reading about your Icebergs and then scowling at my own wondering why mine doesn't look like yours!
DeleteWell you are funny! Since you can grow 'Moondance' so well, I think you aren't really entitled to complain about your Iceberg roses :-)!
