White Roses (Banksiae Alba Plena Rose) – Climbing

A beautifully refined climbing rose that produces numerous clusters of white flowers with yellow stamen.

The White Old Rose is part of the oldest family of cultivated roses in Europe. Such a long-standing heritage explains why it is seen as a symbol of luxury and why it was used as the coat of arms for the House Of York, Leeds United Football Club and King Richard III of England. When guided across trellises and frames, the White Old Rose can reach incredible lengths of growth from a single main stem.

Roses are grown for their breathtaking beauty. It is genuinely poetic and artistic to watch a rosebud slowly open and bloom in your own garden. And with blooms that come in every colour of the rainbow, you’re certain to find a rose that matches your garden’s style and palette. Second only to their beauty is their scent, which varies from plant to plant, but can bring a new level of sensory interest to you garden.
