Wiki Draft

Summer Snow is a patented rose cultivar listed by Daniels Nursery in 1950. The catalog gives Patent No. 416 and lists it with roses for northern landscape planting, not as an edible fruit cultivar. [S1]

The plant is low and broad, with a habit suited to foreground rose plantings. Daniels called it “splendid” for that use, suggesting a compact display rose for the front of a bed or border. [S1]

The clearest surviving detail is the flower description. Large clusters of buff cream buds open into clear, double white blooms about 3 1/4 inches across. [S1]

Daniels sold these roses as hardy, field grown, two-year-old plants for the Northwest, including Minnesota and the Dakotas. The same page says the roses shown require winter protection. No direct USDA zone rating or winter survival record is given for Summer Snow itself. [S1]

The available source gives no parentage, breeder, release date, species placement beyond Rosa, or fruit use. [S1]
