I recently received a bouquet of white roses
The blooms were very round and very very full
Can anyone recommend a rose bush that would produce a similar bloom

Many many thanks

For a wonderful smell, Iceberg is hard to beat.
Ladybirder beat me to it. I'd say Iceberg too.

Thank you very much for your answers
I grow Iceberg too, but mine is the climber variety, blooms last a long time on the plant.

Thanks for the link ann
Funnily enough I bought a clematis called john paul specifically for the name.
I have looked on the m&s website where I bought the flowers from.
It seems they are avalanche
Now need to source them (and the john paul roses too)
Thanks again
I had an Iceberg in my garden in the Yorkshire Dales and we were quite high up (fab views) and yet it would still be blooming in December. And my son planted for me yesterday the climbing version to scramble over the pergola in my new garden. It really is a superb rose.
Wedding day is a good rambler.

Thank you all for your replies
Looking at these roses I quite fancy one of each
I just need to source them now
I agree with Iceberg as a fabulous climber, I too have flowers on it 11 months out of 12.
However, the most beautiful white rose I have ever has is Margaret Merrill.
It positively glows around sunset, and the fragrance is exceptional.

Iceberg are fabulous long lasting roses on the bush.. Memoir has a round full bloom and is a good picker.
Ric.ror try these people:

http://www.davidaustinroses.com

That is where I have got roses from in the past and they have loads of white roses and the perfume given off them is gorgeous
David Austin roses are the best WY, I love them, but they don't seem to do the one that the OP is after.
