Overview & Description

The Blanc de Coubert Rose (Rosa rugosa ‘Blanc de Coubert’) is a hardy, fragrant rugosa shrub rose celebrated for its exquisite, fully double white flowers. The pristine, pure white petals open in June, exuding a delightful, strong spicy fragrance. Its lush, dark green, deeply veined, crinkled foliage provides a striking contrast to the elegant blooms.

Growth & Size

This variety exhibits a vigorous, upright, and suckering growth habit. It forms a dense, rounded shrub, typically reaching a mature size of about 1.2 to 1.5 meters (4 to 5 feet) in both height and spread.

Additional Notes

It blooms recurrently from early summer through fall, with excellent repeat flowering. Exceptionally cold-hardy, salt-tolerant, and disease-resistant, it is a low-maintenance, reliable performer. After flowering, it produces large, ornamental scarlet-red hips. Its timeless beauty, intoxicating fragrance, and rugged resilience make it an outstanding choice for fragrant hedges, mixed borders, or as a classic, free-standing specimen.
