I purchased three of this rose as a ground cover and it surpassed my expectations. It started out defoliated with three strong canes and in two short months it filled out and started to show off with blooms. I hadn't thought I would love the blooms so much, but they are very romantic and full of petals. One of my favorite white roses now! I also love Alba Meidiland which has smaller blooms and a larger growth habit, but can be used as ground cover also. Both seem to be hardy! I can't wait to see what they do in year 2
