Lady Banks White Rose is a vigorous climbing evergreen shrub with lightly fragrant clusters of densely packed white double flowers that bloom from spring into summer. The glossy dark green foliage is nearly thornless and can also be used as a groundcover if not supported. Best grown in full sun and rich, moist, slightly acidic well-drained soils. Lady Banks only bloom on old wood so be careful not to over prune, but is more drought and disease tolerant than most rose species.
