Sounds to me as thought their is either a fuel problem (needs carburetor rebuilt/readjusted) or a considerable amount of oil is getting into the combustion chamber. I would tend to lean towards the fuel system. Have you run any fuel system cleaner thru it?

Idles rough and smokes when first stated

Worn valve guides allow oil to drain into the cylinders, causes blue smoke, fouled plugs will idle rough.
Coolant in the cylinders from a blown head gasket will cause white smoke.

Engine shakes and hesitate when started until it idles down

Sounds like its missing on 1 or more cylinders. A check of the plugs and wires is in order, Could be a fouled plug or a loose/bad sparkplug wire. Best of luck.
