While terms like Own-Root and Heirloom have strict definitions for rosarians, we apply them more broadly to describe our roses. We select these varieties because they are exceptionally tough. Our roses are resilient and easy to grow, with a natural ability to resist most common problems. This means you can enjoy beautiful, healthy blooms with minimal effort and fewer chemicals.
The White Lady Banks Rose is a wonderful old climbing species, creating a breathtaking spectacle with heavy boughs and cascades of small, lightly fragrant, creamy white flowers each spring. This nearly thornless, aggressive grower is ideal for quickly covering arbors or fences. The rose is sometimes called the Tombstone Rose after a very large 1800s specimen in Tombstone, Arizona, and what the individual blooms lack in size, they make up for in volume and a non-fading color.
Care: When mature, plant in a full-sun location with fertile, well-draining soil. Water deeply, allowing the soil to dry between waterings to prevent over-saturation. Fertilize with a slow-release formula at planting, then each Spring and early Fall. Prune to shape after blooms fade. Monitor for issues, but regular preventative spraying is not needed.
Indoor Growing: Roses are not well-suited for long-term indoor growth. Keep your starter plant in a very bright, sunny indoor location until the weather is suitable for transplanting outdoors.
Climate: Lady Banks White Rose is recommended for USDA Growing Zones 7, 8, 9. Plant early in the growing season, and mulch roots heavily well ahead of first freeze. Avoid late Fall and Winter pruning of Spring blooming roses.
