  • Description

  • Notes

'Blanc Double de Coubert' is a hybrid rugosa shrub rose which typically grows to 5 feet tall and as wide. It features profuse, strongly fragrant, pure white, semi-double flowers which bloom throughout the summer and into fall. Large, orange-red hips follow blooms. Foliage is leathery, wrinkled, and dark green. Rugosa-type roses are generally more hardy than are hybrid teas, in part becuase their foliage is more robust. Use as a hedge, an addition to the shrub or foundation border, in mingled with ornamental grasses. Keep away from paths as it is thorny. If you want to harvest the rose hips, avoid the use of any chemicals and harvest after the first frost.
