Rosa cannabifolia
 

I have been trying to find a supplier for this rose in the UK.

Does anyone know a UK supplier or grower or is it known by a synonym?

Thanks

I know it as an alba type, I have seen it described as Rosa alba
cymbaefolia, like the other alba's it suckers like mad. I got very cross
with it here and eradicated it (with some difficulty) about 20 years ago

Thanks for the information Charlie it seems Alba Maxima and cannabifolia/cymbaefolia are both sports or mutations of R. Alba Semi-Plena.
I have recently acquired R.Alba Maxima so I expect this will be just as badly behaved.
Thanks again for valuable information.

Give these people a ring, ask for the rose expert, whilst it's not showing
on their list they may know of a supplier.

If they are near you take a drive over there, GC is very well cared for and
has an excellent Tea Room with nice views too.
It's one of our watering holes if we are out that way :-)
