A new and distinct cultivar of Hydrangea macrophylla (Thunb.) named 'White
Robe' originated as a cutting taken from the cultivar 'Buffie'. The cultivar 'White
Robe' has white sepals at maturity and is distinguished from other similar cultivars
of which the inventor is aware by the unique manner in which the inflorescence
ages. As the mature sepals age and turn green they are highly resistant to burning
and turning brown The new variety 'White Robe' further possesses the favorable
characteristics of a compact growth habit and long lasting large inflorescences.
