White rose, Rosa fillipes "Kiftsgate" growing in England is the largest rose bush in the world.
It current size is 90 feets x 80 feets x 50 feets high, or in metric it is 24m x 27 m x 15m high.
It was plantes as small seedling in 1938 in Kiftsgate Court Gardens.
I haven't found info about any other rose growing that large! If you live next to it, just please let me know.
On the photo you see picture of Kiftsgate taken in Austria - it bloomed for the first time after few years and at the lenght of 6 meters.

Wow, Ewa! Must be awesome to see 'Kiftsgate' in bloom!
Judging by its size, I think it's aiming for world domination. ;-)
Wow Ewa, that's huge! I was thinking the same thing as Yolanda - a rose that big might poised to take over the world!
I would hate to be the person responsible for prunining that rose. Ouch!
Cool. Roses are so classy. I love that the owners allowed this one to grow.

That's one stunning rose bush.
Wow...I am glad, that my Kiftsgate is not (yet) so big ;-) !! But the blooms are great!!
That's a rose ??? Looks like a tree to me .....
Pretty cool! Undoubtedly the tallest rose in the world. Depends on what is meant by 'biggest'. Check out the 125 year old "Lady Banksia" rose in Tombstone, Arizona. Covers 7000 square feet.

In 2006 I visited Tombstone in Arizona and saw the World's largest rose bush, and this is officially the record holder.
BTW last year I planted a 'Kiftsgate' as I want it to cover a large workshop. It's now 9ft tall and growing each day.
