Alba Semi Plena at a glance
'Alba Semi Plena' is a true historical gem, dating back to 1623. This enchanting organically grown shrub rose adorns your garden with lush, semi-double white flowers of impressive size (8–12 cm). Although it is not repeat-flowering, its bloom is a spectacular explosion of purity and elegance in June and July. What makes this rose especially remarkable is its intense, delightful fragrance, which stimulates the senses and creates a nostalgic atmosphere. An old-fashioned and rare beauty that magically attracts bees and butterflies.
Reaching a height of 150–200 cm, 'Alba Semi Plena' is ideal for creating impressive rose hedges, elegant borders, or as a solitary specimen in parks. It thrives in a spot with at least 2 hours of sunlight and also grows well in partial shade or against a north-facing wall, making it surprisingly versatile. Its robust nature and good health ensure that you can enjoy this historic addition for many years, bringing timeless charm to your garden.
At Belle Époque Rose Nursery, a family business with more than 40 years of passion for roses, you are assured of top quality. 'Alba Semi Plena' is organically grown with care and expertise (SKAL-certified) and shipped directly from our nursery in Aalsmeer. You will receive this beautiful rose as a bare-root plant in November, ready to transform your garden with its unique beauty and fragrance.
