Rose - Cecile Brunner White

Common Name:
White Cécile Brunner Rose

Description:
Rose ‘White Cécile Brunner’ is a charming old-fashioned polyantha rose admired for its small, beautifully formed double blooms in soft white to buff-cream tones. Often described as a white sport of the much-loved Cécile Brunner, it produces high-centred, miniature-style flowers with a delicate, romantic appearance and a light, pleasant fragrance. In Melbourne conditions, it thrives in a sunny to partly shaded position with well-drained, fertile soil and benefits from regular feeding during the growing season. This variety is prized for its neat, compact growth, relatively few thorns, and reliable repeat flowering from spring through to autumn. Ideal for borders, cottage gardens, rose beds, and decorative pots, it offers a timeless elegance and soft colour palette that complements both formal and informal garden styles.
