Rosa Rosanatura Napi - Groundcover Rose

The 'Visallcover' ROSANATURA® NAPI® rose is a ground-cover rose from the Rosanatura series with small single white flowers that forms a low, particularly dense and regular carpet of vegetation. Its very dense burnet rose foliage and suckering habit make it a true groundcover. Plant it in a border, on a bank or at the front of a bed. Its small corollas reveal a cluster of yellow, pollen-rich stamens. It flowers throughout the summer and produces small decorative red rose hips in autumn.

This rose belongs to the Rosaceae family. It is known as the Rosanatura Napi ground-cover rose. Its cultivar name is 'Visallcover'; its trade name is ROSANATURA® NAPI® and it belongs to the ROSANATURA® series. Green Summer® is another trade name used in some catalogues. The ROSANATURA® series brings together landscape roses with single flowers, selected for their natural habit, repeat flowering and good garden performance. This one stands out for its much lower habit than that of a classic shrub rose. It forms very low, regular growth, dense enough to limit weed growth. This shrub reaches 20 to 30 cm in height and at least 60 cm in spread .Ungrafted, it grows on its own roots and produces suckers that allow it to spread gradually. Its slender stems bear prickles and extend close to the ground. The leaves are compound, with very small, toothed, oval leaflets and a glossy medium green colour. The foliage is semi-evergreen : it remains in place if the winter is mild but becomes sparse in severe frosts. The flowers measure approximately 3 cm across. Each corolla opens flat, with five rounded white petals and a centre of yellow, pollen-rich stamens. Small rose hips form after pollination and ripen in autumn.

Rosanatura Napi® rose was bred in Belgium by Martin Vissers around 2010. It has received several awards, including the 2022 Rose d'Or de Nyon, prizes in Barcelona in 2021, a certificate at Bagatelle in 2022, a medal in Warsaw in 2023 and first prize in the ground-cover category at the 2025 Grand Prix de la Rose SNHF.
