‘Alba Maxima’, also known as the White Rose of York, is a classic Old Garden rose that exudes timeless beauty and heritage charm.

With its clusters of creamy-white, double blooms and a wonderfully rich fragrance, this hardy and graceful rose is as elegant today as it was centuries ago.

Flowering once in early summer, ‘Alba Maxima’ produces masses of cupped, white blooms with soft blush tones at the bud stage. The blooms are set against attractive grey-green foliage, creating a refined, natural look perfect for traditional or cottage-style gardens. Exceptionally hardy and shade tolerant, this rose is also low maintenance and disease resistant.
