Pollination Information for White Meidiland Rose (Rosa 'MEIcoublan')

White Meidiland Rose (Rosa 'MEIcoublan') is a self-pollinating variety, which means that it does not require a second plant for pollination.

However, pollinators such as bees and butterflies can still play a role in increasing the quality and quantity of the plant's flowers and fruit.

To attract pollinators to your rose plant, provide a habitat that includes a variety of nectar-rich flowers and a source of water.

Planting White Meidiland Rose in a location that receives full sun also encourages healthy growth and bloom production.
