I would do most anything for this rose! I am in love! Considering applying for an import and quarantine, ANYONE in the US have this??

Found a website for a nursery called "Antique Roses" which does carry this particular variety. Though I decided I have as many roses as I can properly care for, this site has me sorely tempted with its interesting list of old roses. It also has very beautiful photographs!

That website is phony, there is no reply, nothing for sale, and there is a discussion about this on various garden websites. All the photos on tht site have been stolen without permission from HMF member's photos. it is believed the website exists as a phishing-for-credit card numbers scam....

Did you use it for bouquets? and if so, how did it do?

alas, i cannot say whether it would make a good cut flower. for me it is a garden rose, as are my others. i do plant a cutting garden for bouquets, however, and roses are somehow (!) creeping in.

There is a photo of this rose on the Hortico website under the section "groundcovers."

i've had "white cap" in a pot for a few years and have always taken it in over the winter. it's an own root and was very slow to attain any size, so was reluctant to put it out when rather small and expect it to make it through my zone 5 new hampshire winter. this summer i decided to put it (finally) in the ground and it has done well, producing quite steadily a small amount of lovely flowers. today, to my surprise, i noticed that some of the leaves have turned a very attractive shade of gold! i thought only the rugosas did that.
