Rosa Decorosiers Opalia 'Noaschnee'

The Decorosier OPALIA rose bush, with a coat of white flowers from spring, blooming until autumn, brings a lot of light to any setting. Its semi-double corollas of pure white blend wonderfully with all the flowers in the garden and create a beautiful contrast with the surrounding foliage. This Opalia variety is the earliest in the Decorosiers collection. Its small, shiny dark green foliage remains decorative throughout the season, and even throughout winter if it's not too harsh. An easy-to-grow rose bush in all regions, whether in a pot or in the ground, suitable for gardens of all styles and sizes!

The 'Opalia' rose bush belongs to the modern, shrub and landscape roses. Its clustered flowers come from the Polyantha rose, an old hybrid derived from Rosa multiflora and Rosa chinensis. It is a very dense bush, measuring 70 to 80 cm (28 to 32in) in height, with good coverage, in the shape of a slightly spreading dome, about 90 cm (35in) to 1 m (3ft) wide, depending on the growing conditions. Very floriferous, it produces an abundance of semi-double flowers, 4-5 cm (2in) in diameter, from May to October, in pure white, around a golden yellow stamen centre. They have no scent. They are gathered in small clusters of 10 units. Its semi-evergreen foliage is perfectly healthy, composed of small, shiny dark green leaves that cover thorny stems. This variety tolerates heat well.

The Opalia rose bush can be used in flowerbeds, borders, large spaces, slopes, or low hedges. It adapts to all soils that are not too wet and all climates, making it suitable for all regions of our country. It has dense vegetation that works wonders on a slope, hiding the ground. When planted in mass, it can border pathways and highlight flower beds. For example, it can be associated with perennial geraniums (Geranium Blue Cloud, Anne Folkard, Nimbus, Orion), bellflowers (lactiflora, rapunculoides), catmints, lavenders, snapdragons, foxgloves, or other Stachys. When left to grow freely, it forms a bush with a blurry, flowery, and cloudy shape, with a very natural appearance in front of a flowered shrub bed.

The DECOROSIERS roses are ground-covering shrub roses. They can be used in various ways: lawn borders, flowerbeds, slopes, or pots. They can be planted in all types of soil, in full sun or partial shade. They offer long and exceptional flowering periods on healthy, shiny, semi-evergreen foliage. Their qualities have been rewarded with 8 gold medals and 6 ADR labels. Naturally resistant to diseases, they do not require any treatment.

ADR ® is the label of the German Rose Breeders' Federation. The ADR designation is only given to varieties that have passed the strictest tests in the world. The plants are tested simultaneously in 10 different locations, under various soil and climate conditions for several years. The tests cover hardiness, perennial character, and flowering without any pesticide use.
