Where to plant. A large specimen plant, a hedge along a fence, or a backdrop in the garden; in early summer it turns into a solid white 'cloud'. Along a fence: plant no closer than ~1 m from a neighbouring bush, so the bushes get enough light and air.
Climate. Very hardy (USDA 3b, down to ≈ −37 °C).
Care. Undemanding; pruning is minimal (it flowers on last year's canes). Removing spent flowers may encourage a weak second flush.
Name. 'nevada' is Spanish for 'snow-covered, snowy', after the colour of the flowers.
Breeding. Pedro Dot (Spain), 1927. Historically classified as a Hybrid Moyesii (its origin is disputed). Sport: the pink version, 'Marguerite Hilling' (Pink Nevada), is identical in every respect except colour.
