Description
Rugosa Rose ‘Alba’ is a time-honored, cold-hardy shrub rose prized for its pure white, fragrant single blooms that appear from late spring through summer. These charming flowers emerge from pale pink buds and are followed by abundant orange hips in fall. With dark green foliage that turns brilliant scarlet and distinctive spiny purple bark, ‘Alba’ adds multi-season appeal to any sunny landscape. Naturally resistant to disease and tolerant of harsh conditions, it’s a great choice for hedges, coastal plantings, or as a fragrant focal point.
While this shrub requires occasional upkeep and winter pruning, its beauty and resilience more than repay the effort. Plant in full sun and well-drained soil, and water regularly during establishment. Bees love its simple blooms, and its suckering growth habit helps create dense coverage ideal for naturalized gardens or erosion control. Be sure to refer to our Rose Planting Guide for optimal growth.
