Rosa 'Blanche Double de Coubert' (Ru)
Vita Sackville-West made this rose popular: the name of Blanc Double de Coubert trips easily off the lips of well-bred English lady gardeners. It is now widely grown all over the world, and has proved so hardy in such places as Ontario and Austria that it is now smart to say that it cannot be a hybrid of the tender Tea rose Sombreuil, but a double form of Rosa rugosa Alba. Blanc Double de Coubert has many good qualities-vigour, health, scent, and beautiful crinkly, white flowers, followed by large, squat, orange hips. It tolerates poor soils and desiccation, and is very healthy. The leaves are wrinkled and pleated in texture and turn a brilliant yellow in autumn. It blooms continually. It is a remarkably useful shrub, especially for cold climates. Coubert is the village south-east of Paris where Philémon and Scipion Cochet had their nursery.
