Having learned the hard way, I plant only hardy, disease resistant roses that can take high humidity and extreme heat without succumbing to black spot--the nemesis of OKC rose growers. MP has earned its keep with abundant fragrant blooms and disease free foliage. Happy in morning sun and filtered mid day and afternoon sun, sheltered from north winds, it is doing well situated between a magnolia and an elm in the driest area in my yard. I planted it last year and it bloomed like crazy. This year, in spite of a very hard winter, it has tripled in size and is covered in buds. What a winner!

Information regarding Alba Rose; Mme Plantier.
Tends to grow tall - 6ft tall and sometimes wide. Usually thornless, Mme Plantier has mat, gray-/or/blue-green leaves and clusters of delicate, petite, creamy white flowers; flowering only once and usually in Spring.
Like other Albas, Mme Plantier is shade tolerant. They are supremely hardy of all old garden roses; doing well in adverse conditions, survives with some neglect, thrives well with poor soil and resists desease and other problems.

This Madame Plantier rose was already in my garden for years when I bought the house. It was approx. 8 -10 ft. high with a fountain shape. It is nearly thornless & exceptionally fragrant. Blooms once for a long period of time. Very hardy & thrives under difficult conditions, even partial shade. Almost completely disease-resistant & requires little pruning. I only pruned it back to 5-6 ft. this winter to make it bushier, but do not plant on pruning it again.
It smells wonderful!
