Alba Rose

'Alba Suavelens' is an antique climbing rose that was already well established in European gardens by 1750. Its white, semi-double flowers have the fragrance old-fashioned roses are prized for. There's no repeat bloom, so no need to deadhead, with the result you'll get you'll get bright red rose hips come fall. It's self-supporting, disease-resistant, and best of all, tolerates some shade. In other words, this rose doesn't demand much of the gardener. Just give it good soil, water during dry spells, and as much sun as you have available...at least half a day.
