 is does the "white" mean? I suspect it might not mean literally
 "roses that are white" but instead, water from roses, that is clear
 rather than pink or brown. Any one care to comment? >>

I don't know about that specifically, but I think it may mean clear rose water
or rose water made with white roses.  Red rose water in that period was for
red-colored rose water that was made from red roses, if I recall the recipes
correctly.
