The Rosa 'Meidiland Alba', also known as 'Meidiland Alba' rose, is a vigorous groundcover rose with a spreading and slightly trailing habit, recognized for its abundant flowering and high disease resistance. It produces a profusion of pure white single to semi-double flowers, sometimes slightly nuanced with cream in the center, which brighten the garden throughout the summer. Its glossy dark green foliage remains healthy and dense, forming an ideal structured carpet for slopes, borders, rockeries, and mass plantings. Rosa 'Meidiland Alba' stands out for its ability to quickly cover the ground while requiring little maintenance. Very hardy and reliable, it attracts pollinators and brings freshness, luminosity, and stability to arrangements in full sun.
