Königin Von Dänemark
Slightly arching shrub with perfectly formed, quartered flowers and a superb scent. It is considered the most beautiful of all the Albas because the color of the petals is a more intense, deeper pink. One-time bloomer. |

Mme Legras de St. Germain
White flowers, very double, with the lightest yellow shadowing at the base of the petals. Long thin stems on a shrub that can be used as a small climber. Excellent scent. Once-blooming. |

Mme Plantier
This rose is probably a hybrid between an Alba rose and R. moschata (the Musk Rose). It can be grown as a small climber or a shrub. The grey-green foliage complements beautifully the white flowers, which once opened, have a light yellow glow. Completely open, a central green eye is visible. The perfume is sweet and strong. One-time bloomer. |

R. x Alba semi-plena
Semi-double form of Alba Maxima. A tall and vigorous shrub that in the spring is covered in white blooms. Nice fall hips. Scented. Once-blooming. |
