Type

Family
Rosaceae

Rosa 'Canadian White Star', a vigorous and luminous hybrid tea rose, is distinguished by its large, double, pure white flowers, slightly ivory at the center, forming an elegantly turbinated cup with thick, satiny petals. The elongated buds open slowly into refined, subtly fragrant flowers, borne on long, sturdy stems ideal for cutting. Its abundant and recurrent flowering offers several sustained waves throughout the summer, even under variable climatic conditions. Its bushy, upright, and dense habit allows it to effectively structure sunny flowerbeds or act as a focal point in a pastel-toned bed. Its dark green, lustrous, and robust foliage shows good disease tolerance and resistance adapted to northern climates in rich, deep, and well-drained soil. Rosa 'Canadian White Star' brings purity, constancy, and elegance to the garden while attracting pollinating insects.
