This cultivar is listed as triploid in the paper 'Pollen diameter and guard cell length as predictors of ploidy in diverse rose cultivars, species, and breeding lines'

Anyone know whether this rose sets OP hips?

I removed it a long time ago, Rita. It was very disease prone.

Perhaps you should have threatened to hit it with a golfclub...

A year later and it has grown to 1.5m wide and only 50cm high. I am so loving it's free flowering and healthy foliage atm that I have ordered another 3 plants to grown as a base to the trees on the verge in the hope that cars will stop driving on it and compacting the tree roots. Will upload photo so you can see it as of today. This plant was grown from a cutting by Marilyn Thomas, a member of our HRiA group in the Illawarra/South Coast/Sth Highlands group. On the negative side. I have seen it ball in heavy rain, but what rose doesn't!

This is not a rose to use as a groundcover unless you mulch heavily underneath it and wear very thick gloves while weeding (which probably applies to most "groundcover" roses). It holds onto its dead, too; I'm told the way to deadhead it without backache is to use a golfclub.

LOL, Margaret. I should have read your note BEFORE I planted this in the ground ... so it would do well growing in a concrete crack then :)

Per www.rogersroses.com , 'Alba Meidiland', 'Blanc Meidilandécor', MELcoublan are synonyms of White Meidiland

Alba Meillandecor (MEIflopan) and White Meillandecor are not the same rose. Different pedigree, different year of introduction. Alba's parentage is same as that of grandparents to Bonica. (I believe Alba is sister seedling to Bonica's parent, and not the actual parent.) Alba was bred earlier, but not introduced until after "White M.".
