Rose - Albertine

Common Name:
Albertine Rose

Description:
Rosa 'Albertine' is a beloved old-fashioned climbing rose known for its richly scented, romantic blooms and vigorous growth habit. The flowers are a beautiful blend of salmon pink, peach, and soft apricot, opening from deep coppery buds into full, loosely-formed rosettes. Blooming in abundance in late spring to early summer, 'Albertine' puts on a spectacular once-a-year display that fills the garden with a strong, fruity, musky perfume. This rose is particularly striking when grown over arbours, fences, or pergolas, where its long, arching canes can be trained to create a stunning wall of colour. Best suited to full sun, it thrives in Melbourne’s climate when planted in well-drained soil and benefits from strong support and annual pruning after flowering. 'Albertine' combines vintage charm with bold presence, making it a cherished feature rose in classic and cottage-style gardens.
