    Although this rose is sold as a ground cover, it's about 5 feet tall and 6 feet wide in my garden. It's easy to propagate by pegging because it puts out roots wherever the canes touch the ground.

    Noted by Antique Rose Emporium:
    "This versatile rose can be grown as a mannerly climber or, because of its semi-prostrate habit, can be grown as a trailer. The choice is yours. Double, creamy-white flowers of slight fragrance handsomely decorate the dark, glossy foliage of this vigorous rose. A perfect candidate for a white garden because the lovely blooms reflect light well at night."
