This white form of Rosa banksiae was named in honor of the wife of gifted amateur rosarian, Sir Joseph Banks. The botanist who named it, Robert Brown, commented on its lovely fragrance, saying, Indeed I doubt whether many persons if blindfolded could by the odour distinguish them from violets. Banksia roses are thornless and appear to have no serious insect or disease problems. They are long-lived. Any Southerner who plants one may be assured that it will outlive his grandchildren. During the massive flowering, 1 inch blooms cover the plant like a thick blanket, lasting up to six weeks. Cold is its worst enemy, with hardiness questionable below 15 degrees F. For some reason, deer do not like to eat these roses, so they are perfect to naturalize.

We ship from September to May. At checkout on our website, you may choose your desired delivery timeframe. This is a very important step! We do ask that you make sure the weather in your zone is suitable for receiving and plating your roses. We are in Texas and in December the weather can be anywhere from below freezing to 80 degrees Fahrenheit, but are extremely mild compared to the northern United States. We want you to have the best success possible with your roses and ask that you let us care for them over the winter and receive them at the time that you plan to plant. Please ensure that you are not experiencing freezing temperatures and the ground is not frozen when you plan to receive your rose.
