Varieties of cream-colored roses with photos and names

There are quite a few cream roses. They are mainly white and apricot in color, although there are also representatives with pink, orange and scarlet colors.

Varieties of climbing cream rose

Quite often, cream-colored varieties of climbing roses are used in landscape design. Such plants produce fairly tall bushes, reaching 1.5-2, often 3 m. They are used to decorate vertical structures, in single plantings and compositions. There are several most popular varieties:

Rose Elf (Elfe) is quite tall, reaching an average of 2-2.5 m. It produces beautiful cream-colored flowers, the color is greenish-white. They are large in size, reaching a diameter of 8 to 14 cm, and give a rather pronounced fruity aroma. Winter hardiness is average, up to -28 degrees. Immunity to major diseases is high.

The bush is tall, grows up to 4.5 m. The shoots are curly, attractive in appearance. The shrub grows well not only in the sun, but also in partial shade.
Swan Lake is a beautiful cream rose that produces large inflorescences with a pinkish tint. Terry type flowers - consist of several dozen petals arranged in rows. They begin to bloom already in June, and end with the onset of the first frost. When growing, it should be taken into account that this variety is susceptible to powdery mildew and black spot infections. However, the crop grows quite well even on depleted soils.

Important! Because cream roses of the climbing group produce rather tall and spreading bushes. They must be planted at a distance of at least 1.5 m from each other and from neighboring plantings.

Hybrid tea

There are a lot of varieties with cream-colored flowers among hybrid tea roses. The bushes are usually tall and spreading, although compact ones are also found. Some of the most popular varieties are as follows:

Polar Star is a cream rose with very beautiful, large flowers. They reach 14 cm in diameter. At the same time, the shrub is low (up to 1 m) and compact (spreads only 75 cm). Disease resistance is average. But the buds open even in rainy weather. Flowering is continuous, from the beginning of summer until the end of September. The buds are arranged singly, the peduncles are hard and durable.

The color of the petals is light apricot, with a brighter core and almost white tips. The inflorescence shape is classic, the foliage is dark green, the surface is matte.

Park

Park roses are particularly resistant to weather conditions, and they are also undemanding to the composition of the soil. Such crops can be cultivated in almost all Russian regions. The following varieties are especially popular:

J.P. Connel is a Canadian variety with soft yellow flowers. Initially the color is quite bright, but gradually fades and becomes dark cream. Moreover, the middle remains yellow, so the inflorescences turn out really beautiful. The shoots are erect, powerful, and grow quickly. Each peduncle produces from 1 to 8 buds. The foliage is dark green, broadly oval in shape, with a slightly glossy surface.
Chinatown is a beautiful cream rose for lovers of yellow flowers. The color may be pinkish, but it is quite delicate, without sharp tints. The diameter of the inflorescences reaches 10-12 cm. Flowering is abundant and continuous, due to which in the middle of summer the entire bush is strewn with open buds. The bushes are not very tall - within 1.8 m, but spreading - up to 2 m wide. The plant is quite resistant to diseases and rain. The inflorescences give off a rather noticeable pleasant aroma.
Pimpinellifolia plena is a rose with flowers in cream and white shades.It has very good winter hardiness, can withstand open ground down to -35 degrees, and overwinters under snow cover. The bush grows to 1.6-1.8 m in height. The shoots are strong, with beautifully curved tops. The flowers are semi-double, small: diameter only 6 cm.

Standard

Standard roses are not separate varieties. It is simply a form of growing a shrub that is turned into a small tree (in two ways):

complete removal of shoots from the main trunk (trunk) to a certain height, for example, 80 cm;
formation of the crown of a bush in the form of a pyramid or ball.

We can highlight several of the most beautiful representatives of this group:

Charlotte produces creamy, yellowish inflorescences - 3-5 pieces on each peduncle. The buds are small, but appear in large quantities and decorate the bush. The seedling produces many branches, but at the same time it is compact. A characteristic advantage is that it blooms throughout the summer.
Rose Patte de Velours can also be classified as a cream-colored flower. It is worth considering that its color is two-tone - a more delicate core and scarlet edges of the petals. The size is small - no more than 6 cm in diameter. The bushes are approximately 80 cm high and wide. It has very good immunity to fungal infections, but is not very resistant to rain. In conditions of constant rainfall, the buds may stop blooming.

Ground cover

Ground cover varieties produce spreading bushes, often with creeping shoots. They hide large areas, which is especially useful for decorating nondescript places. Below are several beautiful varieties of this group with cream flowers:

Snow Ballet is a low shrub that produces delicate, attractive flowers with pink-red and cream hues.Looks good when planted alone and in combination with other plants, such as ornamental grasses.
Drift Popcorn is one of the hardiest roses with creamy semi-double flowers. The buds consist of a small number of petals - only 15-20. At first they are yellow in color, then they become creamy white, reminiscent of popcorn, which is why the crop received its corresponding name.

Dutch

Macho is a variety with creamy white flowers reaching 12-13 cm in diameter. They have a very strong aroma and are well suited for floral arrangements. The bushes are low, within 1 m.

English varieties include varieties of roses that were bred in the last decades of the 20th century by the British researcher David Austin. If we consider varieties with beautiful cream inflorescences, we can describe several representatives:

The aroma is pronounced and pleasant. Flowering is observed from June until the end of September.
Purity is a rose with very pleasant cream flowers with a brighter center. The bud first opens and takes the shape of a bowl, then more closely resembles a rather voluminous rosette. On average, the number of petals reaches 90, so the flower looks very lush. When growing, it is worth considering that in rainy summers flowering will be weak.

The bushes are of medium height, within 1 m. They reach about the same width. They last quite a long time when cut, so they can be used to decorate the garden and in bouquets. From one to three buds are formed on each stem.

Among gardeners, large cream roses are especially valued, producing flowers with a diameter of 10-12 cm or more. The most popular representatives are:

Application in landscape design

Cream roses are widely used in garden design. Large bushes are suitable for single planting, vertical gardening, for example, on an arch or pergola. Ground cover plants are planted in open spaces to enliven an inconspicuous area and remove “bare” soil from view. Cream roses are also often combined with brighter flowers.

Several options for using such plants to decorate the garden can be seen in the selection of photos:

Single landing.
Placement next to the fence.
Curly shoots spreading along the fence.
