Rose Margaret Merrill

Margaret Merril Rose

The Margaret Merril Rose is a popular, Floribunda shrub rose that features masses of pure white flowers. The fragrant blooms emerge in spring and continue until autumn provided the spent flowers are removed. The foliage comprises small-sized, dark green leaves which provide a lovely backdrop to the flowers. This deciduous plant typically grows to 1.2 m tall and the same wide and is generally pruned each winter with about 75% of the stem removed. It performs best when planted in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site, and is tolerant of frost and cool climates. It also has exceptional disease resistance. The Margaret Merril rose is commonly included in a mixed or border planting, included in a courtyard or cottage garden, maintained in a container, or included anywhere the beauty and fragrance can be appreciated.
