- Description
-
White Meidiland is a hybrid miniature shrub in the rose family (Rosaceae) bred by Marie-Louise (Louisette) Meilland of France in 1987. Parentage is Temple Bells X Rosa ‘MEIgurami’.
White Meidiland is a hardy, vigorous shrub that will grow 1-3 feet tall and spread 4-7 feet wide. It is best grown in full sun but will tolerate light shade. Plant in fertile, well-drained garden soil and mulch to help retain moisture. Avoid crowding and overhead watering to help prevent diseases. Prune in late winter to remove dead or diseased canes and to 1/3 of its size or more if needed.
In late spring to early summer, 3–4-inch, white blend, double flowers appear in large clusters and repeat blooms throughout the year. The glossy dark green foliage is on canes with prickles.
White Meidiland can be used as a ground cover, in the border front, in a container, on slopes or cascading over a rock wall.
Insects, Diseases, and Other Plant Problems: Good disease resistance. See pests of roses to the left. Deer will browse roses.
