Rosa x wichuraiana 'Sander's White Rambler' - Rambling Rose

Rosa Sander's White Rambler is a rambler rose among the best. Its healthy growth produces long, flexible branches covered with beautiful dark green and shiny foliage. In summer, it is laden with many small double rosettes, pure white, slightly scented, gathered in very tight clusters. Its vigour allows it to conquer tall trees, hide an unsightly construction that will disappear under a cascade of flowers, or cover the ground, creating a fantastic carpet. Unlike most rambling roses, it has a slight perpetual flowering.

 This large rose, obtained by Sander and Sons in 1912 and selected from about 4000 seedlings, remains a reference among rambling roses. It easily reaches a height of 6m (20ft) with a spread of 4m (13ft). Its long stems are flexible and graceful, entirely covered with healthy, dark green and shiny foliage, contrasting with the pure white flowering. The flowers of this rambler form in July, then sporadically in September. They emerge on short shoots from the 2nd year as pure white buds. They open into snowy white rosettes, double, with over 40 petals, and measuring 3cm (1in) in diameter. They are gathered in very dense clusters along the flexible stems. Light despite its abundance, its exuberant flowering covers from the first year of cultivation the support provided to it. The small fruits that delight birds in the winter are fleshy false fruits called hips. They contain a large quantity of single-seeded achenes.

'Sander's White Rambler' is a beautiful and healthy rose known for its generous blooms and candid appearance. It belongs to the Liana family, making it perfect for filling large spaces and creating a natural, relaxed look. Thanks to its abundant foliage and flowers, it can even be used as ground cover. This makes it an excellent option for summer decorations. 

The rose is versatile and can enhance the look of dead trees, fences, or buildings. Its unique charm can add a touch of romance to any outdoor space when trained on an arch near the terrace. The rose blooms almost all year round, making it a great companion for large-flowered clematis that can take over from summer to autumn.
