This is a wonderful rose in my minimal care garden in Texas near the Gulf Coast. It is, however, quite large here, and I don't think of it as a container rose. The foliage, which stays lush and disease resistant, is an unusual shade of yellowish green and the blooms look to me more cream than white. My plant never shows the pink described by the Antique Rose Emporium from which it came. It blooms almost continuously even into the winter, although cold, wet weather may cause the buds to ball.

Noted by
Antique Rose Emporium:
"Regarded as the only white China rose, ‘Ducher’ blooms a soft ivory-white for us. The buds are very round and sometimes have a hint of pink on the outer petals opening to a delicate swirl of fragrant ivory petals. Smaller than many Chinas, this is a good candidate for a container. Although it exhibits the typical bronzy new growth, the foliage of ‘Ducher’ is uncharacteristically light green."
