BLANC MEILLANDECOR® – white landscape shrub rose – Meilland
If You dream of a neat, flowering front garden without constant jobs, BLANC MEILLANDECOR® is a reliably easy-care shrubby groundcover rose that settles quickly and then works away almost by itself. Its low, spreading habit forms a naturally groundcover carpet of glossy dark foliage, sprinkled all season with clusters of very double, white flowers that hardly fade even in strong sun. Thanks to its strong disease resistance You will not be tied to spraying routines, and the good heat and moderate drought tolerance suit Irish summers where water management often matters as much as rainfall. As a 2‑litre, own‑root plant it builds up from strong roots, making a long‑lived shrub that regenerates well after pruning and can handle family life around it. It performs well in both borders and containers, as long as You give it a generous 40–50 litre pot and decent drainage. Think of its development as a calm progression: first year it focuses on establishing roots, second year it builds bushy shoots, and by the third year it shows its full ornamental value with an impressive flowering cushion along paths, drives and cottage‑style beds.

Technical cultivar profile
Parameter
Data
Name and registration
Modern shrub (landscape) rose; registered as MEIcoublan, marketed as BLANC MEILLANDECOR®, MEILLANDECOR® and White Meidiland; part of the Meillandecor groundcover range of robust garden roses.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Marie-Louise Meilland, Meilland International, France; cross of Temple Bells × Coppélia ’76; bred 1985, registered 1988, introduced after 1988 as a tough groundcover and landscape shrub rose.
Growth and structure
Spreading, low shrub 75–105 cm high and 100–140 cm wide; forms dense, glossy dark green foliage with moderate prickles; ideal for edging, groundcover, informal low hedges and mass planting schemes.
Flower morphology
Medium-sized, cup-shaped clusters of very double blooms with 40+ petals; flowers produced in sprays throughout the season and repeat strongly; most spent blooms fall naturally, reducing the need for deadheading.
Colour and phenology
Pure, bright white petals with a faint creamy tint at the base; buds open milky white and hold colour well in strong sun; flowers remain fresh-looking as they age, giving a clean, consistent display over long flowering periods.
Fragrance and aroma
No noticeable scent; chosen primarily for visual effect and durability rather than perfume; well suited where fragrance is not essential or where neutral scent is preferred near seating and living areas.
Rose hip characteristics
Rosehips are sparse due to very double flowers; when present they are small ellipsoid orange-red hips around 6–10 mm, contributing minor seasonal interest rather than being a key ornamental feature.
Resistance and hardiness
Excellent disease resistance to black spot, powdery mildew and rust; hardy to about −32 to −29 °C (USDA 4b, RHS H7); tolerates heat and moderate drought but benefits from watering in prolonged dry spells.
Horticultural recommendations
Low-maintenance shrub for borders, edging, slopes, low hedges, containers and urban green spaces; prefers well-drained soil, suits partial shade; space 110–180 cm depending on use; own-root plants give long service life.
BLANC MEILLANDECOR® offers easy-care flowering groundcover, strong disease resistance and long-lived, own-root reliability for relaxed Irish gardens, so You can plant with confidence and decide if it suits the way You like to garden.

Information about the videos
The video series is not a “seasonal showcase”, but makes the essence of pharmaROSA® own-root production tangible: how the plant is built, what the root system is like and how the shoots renew themselves. The footage was therefore taken at different times, showing plants at different stages of development, so mixed leaf coverage or differing growth stages may appear in the videos. This is not a “sample” of the batch delivered, but an illustration of how the technology works. The current condition of the rose available to order — typical of the given period and similar to what you can expect to receive in the parcel — is shown at the top of the product page.
