CREME CHANTILLY® – white bedding floribunda rose - Radler

If You want a rose that fits naturally into an Irish family garden and simply gets on with the job, CREME CHANTILLY® is made for easy living. This bushy floribunda covers itself in generous clusters of XL, very double, soft white blooms that brighten paths, front gardens and borders for months with reliable repeat flowering. It is bred for high disease resistance, coping well with our damp, fungus-prone weather, while its robust hardiness shrugs off winter cold. As an own-root plant, it settles in for a long lifespan, regrowing strongly from the base and keeping a stable, full look year after year with only basic care. In heavier Irish soils it appreciates planting with attention to drainage so roots stay healthy through wet spells, and once established it tolerates heat and moderate drought if watered in long dry periods. Its compact, dense habit makes it ideal for low hedges, neat bed edges and front-of-border planting, giving You a tidy, romantic effect without complicated maintenance. Over the first three years it focuses on roots, then branching, then full ornamental impact, rewarding Your patience with a strong, enduring presence.

Use cases

Target areaReason
Front garden bed along the driveway or path The compact, bushy habit forms a low, tidy line that is easy to read from the street, while white flowering clusters give a bright welcome without overwhelming a small space, ideal if You want structure but prefer beginners.
Low flowering hedge around a lawn or play area Regular repeat flowering and dense foliage create a soft, blooming boundary that looks cared-for with limited pruning and simple deadheading, giving a long-season white frame that suits family lawns and relaxed gardens for homeowners.
Mixed border with perennials and shrubs The generous clusters of off-white blooms weave easily between hydrangeas, salvias or grasses, acting as a calm, repeating accent that ties the planting together and matures into full effect from year one roots to year three display for planners.
Small group planting near the front door Planted in a group of three to five, the rounded, even growth gives a soft, romantic mound of flowers that looks thoughtfully designed yet needs only low, routine care, perfect for a welcoming entrance used by visitors.
Container on a sunny patio or balcony Its moderate size and bushy form suit a large pot of at least 40–50 litres, where it repeats well if watered and fed, bringing white floribunda charm to paved or gravelled areas for balconies.
Urban front garden or pavement-facing bed Strong resistance to black spot, mildew and rust, plus good tolerance of city conditions, means it keeps clean foliage and consistent flowering even beside busy roads, helpful for low-fuss town.
Cottage-style border in rural gardens The creamy white, very double, cup-shaped blooms echo traditional cottage roses and pair beautifully with lavender, catmint or foxgloves, giving a soft, romantic feel that still suits practical, working gardens.
Park-style or communal planting strip Low maintenance needs and good performance in wet, fungus-prone weather make it reliable for shared spaces where regular hand-care is limited, supporting easy-to-manage, long-lived schemes for local communities.

Decorating ideas

  • Soft white welcome – Plant a trio near your front door with lavender and low grasses to create a calm, bright entrance that looks cared-for with minimal effort – ideal for busy homeowners.
  • Cottage border ribbon – Thread CREME CHANTILLY® along a mixed cottage border with foxgloves, hardy geraniums and catmint for a romantic, old-fashioned look – perfect for rural garden lovers.
  • Urban patio glow – Grow one plant in a 40–50 litre container with trailing thyme and heuchera for foliage contrast, giving long-season flowers on a terrace – great for city balcony gardeners.
  • Family lawn edging – Use a short row to edge a family lawn, combining it with low-growing salvias for colour that copes with ball games and everyday life – suited to family-focused gardens.
  • Park-style calm – Mix with hydrangeas and ornamental grasses in a simple palette of greens and whites to frame a seating area – ideal for those who like a clean, contemporary feel.

Technical cultivar profile
ParameterData
Name and registration Floribunda bedding rose; registered as MEIradena, traded as Creme Chantilly® Bedding rose MEIradena, exhibition name Icecap™, part of a bedding rose collection for garden and landscape use.
Origin and breeding Bred by William J. Radler from an unknown Meilland seedling crossed with ‘RADsweet’; introduced by Meilland International and Star Roses & Plants in 2015 with European and US protection.
Awards and recognitions Highly decorated floribunda with top international awards including Barcelona Gold Medal and special prizes, Saverne Gold Medal, SNHF Grand Prix and Rose Hills Gold Medal, confirming strong garden and show performance.
Growth and structure Bushy, compact shrub 60–90 cm high and 90–120 cm wide with dense, matte, dark green foliage and moderate prickles; forms a rounded, low hedge or bedding mound with good coverage from base to tip.
Flower morphology Very double, XL cup-shaped blooms with more than 40 petals in clusters; strong repeat flowering with plentiful second flush, making it effective for continuous display in beds, hedges and containers.
Colour and phenology Soft off-white to cream petals, eggshell to buttery at opening, then pure white, finally fading to matt ivory tones; colour holds well, only slightly papery in strong heat, maintaining a fresh look in most seasons.
Fragrance and aroma Fragrance is very weak and barely noticeable, making it suitable for those who prefer visual impact without strong scent; grown primarily as an ornamental bedding and landscape rose rather than a perfumed variety.
Rose hip characteristics Rose hips are usually scarce due to the very double flower form; when present they are small, spherical, 5–8 mm and orange-red, offering modest seasonal interest without significant self-seeding.
Resistance and hardiness Excellent overall disease resistance, notably to powdery mildew, black spot and rust; hardy to about −32 to −29 °C (H7, USDA 4b) with good heat and moderate drought tolerance if watered in prolonged dry spells.
Horticultural recommendations Best in full sun with well-drained soil; spacings from 65–115 cm depending on hedge or specimen use; low maintenance, generally needing only basic feeding, watering in dry weather and light pruning with deadheading.

CREME CHANTILLY® gives dense, bushy growth, repeat white flowering and strong disease resistance as an easy-care own-root rose that settles for long-term use in family gardens, so You can plant with confidence and enjoy deciding where it suits You best.

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.
