Rosa × alba, the white rose of York, is a hybrid rose of unknown parentage[1] that has been cultivated in Europe since ancient times.[2] It may have originally been grown mainly for the sweet scent of the flowers, but is now also used as a winter-hardy garden shrub.[2] Cultivated forms have white or pink flowers, and most have many petals. Hybrid cultivars have also been produced with red or yellow flowers.[2]
