Rosa banksiae 'Alba Plena'
Rambling Rose
- Magnificent double white roses
- A spectacular climbing rose with none of the thorns
- Flowers from April through May
- A hardy perennial that will flower year after year
- A vigorous grower that reaches up to 12m
- Perfect for training over structures such as pergolas
- Light sweet floral scent - plant near seating areas or windows
- Please Note: Our climbers are pruned back each winter, and some during the summer, so you may find at certain times of year they do not cover the whole 90cm cane. This is intentional to ensure the best growth when you plant out
- Depending on the time of year, your rose may have been professionally hard-pruned by our growers to ensure its long term health and strength
