Overview
Smooth Talk is a white floribunda introduced by O. L. Weeks and registered in 1990 as PP7156. Each flower holds about 30 to 33 petals and measures close to 3 in (7.6 cm) wide, with only a faint anise-like scent. The plant stays compact at around 24 in (61 cm). The patent rated it average against powdery mildew and downy mildew, so regular airflow and clean foliage help. Good for a low white edge or a patio container.
