White O’Hara™ Hybrid Tea Rose
Creamy white blooms with real-deal fragrance
What you’ll get: #1 Bare Root Grafted
Root stock: Cal Davis Dr. Huey
White O’Hara™ is one of those rare roses that looks incredible and actually smells like a rose should. With creamy white petals that open in a classic, quartered form, this variety brings a timeless garden look that holds its own in both landscapes and bouquets. The center petals hint at ivory or blush-pink, while the outer petals can carry a soft green tint — subtle, but noticeable enough to make floral designers pay attention.
Bred by Delbard and introduced in 2024, White O’Hara delivers a strong, lavender-like fragrance that sets it apart in a world full of scentless modern roses. This isn’t some barely-there whiff — it’s a full, sweet, fruity aroma that’s earned White O’Hara a top spot among wedding roses and cut flower favorites.
She grows in a compact 3 ft × 3 ft shape, thrives in zones 5–11, and repeats bloom throughout the season in full sun and just about any soil type. Grafted for vigor, White O’Hara is best suited for gardeners with a bit of experience — she appreciates regular pruning and basic pest management to stay at her best.

White O’Hara is widely considered one of the most fragrant wedding roses available. It brings that “English garden” shape without skimping on scent, and it pairs beautifully with blush tones, soft greens, or other neutral florals. Whether you're building bridal bouquets, styling garden beds, or just planting for the joy of real rose fragrance, this one’s a keeper.
