Notes

'Blanc Double de Coubert' rose (Rosa 'Blanc Double de Coubert') is a shrub for hedges, specimen planting, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun to part shade, average moisture, and loamy or clay soil. It grows tall and arching, with thorns, and it suckers on its own roots, so give it room. The white flowers are fragrant and attract bees. Charles Pierre Marie Cochet-Cochet bred it in 1892.

Pairs well with Little Lime panicle hydrangea, Lily, and Standing Ovation little bluestem.
