'Ashbourne White'           before 1900
'A very vigorous rose, with drooping vlusters of creamy white flowers in July, August: fragrant.'

From Ashbourne House, Glonthaune, County Cork, the famous garden of Richard Beamish, where 'the rose pergola was very bright ... A good climbing rose with clusters of double white flowers formed a mass several yards through, and was covered with flowers ... According to C. F. Ball (1909) Thomas Smith named and was selling this; it is most likely Daisy Hill Nursery was the first to market it. This rose is no longer recognizable in cultivation.
