WHITE MAGIC™ – white bedding floribunda rose - Warriner
If You dream of a compact bed rose that simply settles in and performs reliably in Irish gardens, WHITE MAGIC™ gives You clusters of pure snow-white blooms from early summer to autumn with a quietly elegant look. Its neat, compact habit keeps front gardens and borders tidy without complicated shaping, while the dense, glossy foliage frames each flower beautifully. This floribunda repeats its flowering generously, so Your planting stays colourful for much of the season, even in smaller spaces. In mixed borders or near paths, the medium-sized, cup-shaped blooms create a soft focus point that works well with cottage-style companions. On patios and balconies it thrives in larger containers, provided You choose at least a 40–50 litre pot so the roots can develop steadily and remain healthy. As an own-root plant it matures into a long-lived, stable shrub that can regenerate from its base, supporting a quietly enduring garden structure. It settles in comfortably even where damp weather demands good spacing and air movement to handle the frequent Atlantic showers.

Use cases
Target area
Reason
Front garden bedding along the drive or path
The compact, 60–85 cm growth and tidy outline make it ideal for low front beds that never overwhelm an average-sized garden, while repeat clusters of white flowers keep the entrance bright and welcoming over many seasons for the busy homeowner
Neat edging in family gardens
Regular flowering on short, bushy plants gives a clear visual edge to lawns, vegetable plots or play areas, helping the whole garden look organised without advanced pruning skills, and staying manageable for the beginner gardener
Medium to large containers on patios or balconies
Planted in a 40–50 litre container with good drainage, its compact root system and moderate height make it a dependable choice for terraces or coastal balconies, offering long-term structure for the urban balcony owner
Small groups of 3–5 roses in mixed borders
In groups, the snow-white blooms read as a single, harmonious block of colour that blends easily with perennials and small shrubs, giving a polished effect with straightforward care for the style-conscious beginner
White-themed or evening “moonlight” corners
The bright, silky white petals catch low light beautifully, so even a modest planting becomes a calm focal point that reflects dusk and twilight, suiting the romantic garden lover
Cut flowers for the house from a small garden
The long-stemmed sprays and durable, double blooms are easy to pick and arrange, so one or two bushes can supply simple, elegant vase material throughout summer for the home flower arranger
Structured cottage-style plantings near the home
Its dense foliage and rounded shape sit well with informal companions like verbena, chives and small evergreens, bringing calm structure to a relaxed, cottage feel for the country cottage owner
Beds in wetter, wind-exposed Irish gardens
With sensible spacing and soil preparation to improve drainage, its moderate height and sturdy stems cope well with blustery conditions and frequent soft Atlantic rain, giving confidence to the weather-worried gardener

Technical cultivar profile
Characteristic
Data
Name and registration
WHITE MAGIC™ – white bedding floribunda rose (Warriner). Registered cultivar name JACare, floribunda group, bedding rose type. Also known under the American Rose Society exhibition name ‘Class Act’.
Origin and breeding
Bred by William A. Warriner for Jackson & Perkins (USA). Parentage: ‘Sun Flare’ × (‘Merci’ × ‘Fabergé’). Bred and registered in 1987, introduced commercially in 1989 as a premium floribunda bedding rose.
Awards and recognitions
Highly decorated floribunda with major awards including Bagatelle (Paris) 2nd prize 1986, All-America Rose Selections winner 1989, Portland Gold Medal 1989 and New Zealand Gold Star of the South Pacific 1990.
Growth and structure
Compact, bushy habit, about 60–85 cm high and 40–60 cm wide. Dense, dark green, glossy foliage on moderately thorny stems. Forms a rounded, bedding-friendly shrub ideal for edging, low hedges and mass planting.
Flower morphology
Double, cup-shaped blooms with 26–39 petals, borne in cluster-flowered sprays on sturdy stems. Large flower size (approximately 7–10 cm) with good petal substance, suitable for garden display and cutting.
Colour and phenology
Uniform, bright snow-white flowers with a silky, slightly pearlescent sheen. Colour holds well; outer petals may gently cream before ageing. Remontant with a plentiful second flush, giving a long summer flowering period.
Fragrance and aroma
Fragrance is mild and discreet, more of a gentle classic rose hint than a strong scent. Best appreciated at close range, complementing its clean white colour without overwhelming nearby seating or windows.
Rose hip characteristics
Rose-hip set is usually modest due to the full, double flower form. Where hips develop they are small, spherical and orange-red, about 6–10 mm in diameter, adding a light decorative accent late in the season.
Resistance and hardiness
Hardy to around −21 to −18 °C (USDA 6b, RHS H7, Swedish zone 3). Very susceptible to powdery mildew, black spot and rust, so regular preventive spraying and good air circulation are essential for healthy plants.
Horticultural recommendations
Best in full sun or light partial shade, in well-drained soil. Spacing: 35 cm for bedding, 30 cm hedging, 55 cm specimens. Water during dry spells, feed yearly, and follow a consistent plant-protection routine in humid seasons.
WHITE MAGIC™ offers compact growth, long-season white flowering and an orderly habit on a durable own-root plant that can regenerate from the base over many years, making it a thoughtful choice if You want a dependable white rose to plant now and enjoy.

Information about the videos
The video series is not a “seasonal showcase”, but makes the essence of pharmaROSA® own-root production tangible: how the plant is built, what the root system is like and how the shoots renew themselves. The footage was therefore taken at different times, showing plants at different stages of development, so mixed leaf coverage or differing growth stages may appear in the videos. This is not a “sample” of the batch delivered, but an illustration of how the technology works. The current condition of the rose available to order — typical of the given period and similar to what you can expect to receive in the parcel — is shown at the top of the product page.
