Rosa Banksiae Alba

Common Name: White Banksia Rose

Description:
Rosa banksiae 'Alba', commonly known as the White Banksia Rose, is a vigorous, nearly thornless climbing rose that produces an abundance of small, fragrant, creamy-white double flowers in spring. This fast-growing, rambling rose is ideal for covering pergolas, fences, and trellises, creating a spectacular cascading effect. It thrives in well-drained soil and prefers full sun, though it can tolerate part shade. Drought-hardy once established, it requires minimal pruning aside from occasional shaping after flowering. Unlike many roses, it is almost completely thornless, making it a great choice for areas with high foot traffic. This rose is a spring bloomer and does not typically repeat-flower throughout the year.
