Large flowering Wichuraiana climber
R. Wichuraiana X Shirley Hibberd
Alberic Barbier is known for its dark green glossy foliage, almost like holly, his flexible thin stems and of course his beautiful Cream, quartered blooms (8 cm) with yellow shading in the center fading into white. Very large, up to 600 cm or 18 feet. Blooms for six weeks and reblooms in September although less floriferous. The buds are ovoid and yellow.
This Barbier climber can be grown in a large container and is very shade tolerant. The blooms have a strong fresh tea fragrance. A very tough rose and deservedly popular!
