More information

Pleine de Grace—its name derived from Ave Maria—is a profusely flowering, large shrub. It rarely exceeds 4 m in height; as it matures it broadens at the sides and can be covered with thousands of blooms. The flowers open from creamy buds and resemble rosa filipes in form: the petals do not overlap, with gaps between them. The stamens are long and turn brown quickly. Flowers appear in very large clusters, usually 50-100, followed by orange fruits that ripen and remain on the bush until the leaves fall. The shoots are dark red and very prickly. Each year the plant produces new basal shoots up to 2 m long, which flower the following year. The foliage is disease-resistant, bright green. Leaves are narrow and long. Flowering is single.

In June, this large bush is covered with single white flowers about 3 cm in diameter. They open from creamy white buds and are arranged so that each branch ends in a continuous garland of fragrant flowers with yellow stamens. Insects are attracted to them. In autumn, orange-red fruits are formed, providing two seasonal displays. The bush reaches a height of 2 metres and at least the same width. When grown on a support it exceeds 3 metres in height.
