Anyone ever here of this. I found some old road maps from them.

White Rose was one of the popular filling stations here, back in the old days. They were probably bought out by one of the bigger suppliers. Don't remember which one it was.

One map is from 1965 and 1963

A friend of my father had a White Rose gas station back in the '60s. Very common to see them. I think Shell Canada bought them out.

Wow, that brings back memories! When I was a teenager the local station was White Rose. It was a Belgian company. I worked there briefly for 50 cents/hr. My memory fails me going back that far but I believe they were bought out by British Petroleum (BP), I remember the signage change, and eventually by Shell as Mike said. When Shell took over that location the building was torn down and Imperial Oil (ESSO) took over. It is still ESSO to this day. But White Rose is a longggggggggg time ago.

I have a few White Rose quart oil cans with the original oil in them, never openend. A buddy of mine found them and gave me some. They are red in colour with silver lettering. I have no idea how old they are.

White Rose oil and gas memorabillia is verry collectable . The older products had a boy holding a blackboard on the logo .
3 years ago I was at an auction where a 48" Boy and Blackboard sign sold for over $4,000.00 .

I worked there as a kid too. Half a buck an hour and figured I was rich....

In a sense you were. Gasoline was 25 cents an imperial gallon.

Would love to see some pictures, nowadays everyone I know has a Magellan or some other form of GPS.

I always thought they promoted themselves as being 100% Canadian?

Play on words. Canadian run subsidiary. Later on PetroCanada might have made the true definition.

one map is Ontario the other is Atlantic Provinces

We had White Rose stations in Michigan in the 50s and 60s.

Doubt it has anything to do with Belgium some history
Love the old logos, signs, history etc though

Would someone in Canada with a 63 or 65 Corvette like to put one of these in their glove box.

I have a buddy who would...lives here in Toronto
