An old favorite since 1879, award-winning Rosa ‘Madame Alfred Carriere’ is a vigorous, almost thornless large climber with very fragrant, fully double, creamy white flowers, 4 in. across (10 cm), tinted with pink. Continuously blooming in summer and fall, this repeat-flowering climbing rose features long, graceful, pliable stems clothed with light green leaves and is perfect for training over arches, fences, or pergolas in sun or partial shade. Reliable and hardy, this Noisette rose is also ideal for a north-facing site. Good disease resistance.

  • Winner of the prestigious Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society
  • Flowers freely and continually from midsummer to fall.
  • Grows up to 20 ft. tall (6 m) and 10 ft. wide (3 m). An excellent choice for climbing into small-medium trees. May be used as a shrub. Good for cut flowers
  • Best grown in full sun to partial shade in humus-rich, fertilemoist, well-drained soils. Poor soil and shade tolerant. For best flowering, apply a balanced fertilizer and mulch in late winter or early spring and a balanced fertilizer again in early summer.
  • Propagate by hardwood cuttings in autumn or by chip budding in summer
  • Hybridized in France by J. Schwartz in 1879.
