Garden Rose ‘Albéric Barbier’ – Thornless Rambler with Creamy White Blooms
The ‘Albéric Barbier’ is a vigorous rambling rose bred in 1900, loved for its thornless canes, glossy bronze-green foliage, and abundant early-season flowering. Its charming creamy white blooms with pale yellow centers fade to pure white as they mature, giving the plant a romantic, old-world charm. The flowers are semi-double, globular, and slightly quartered, with a soft green apple and tea fragrance.
Flowering mainly in spring or early summer, with occasional repeat blooms, this rose is perfect for covering walls, pergolas, or even large trees. It’s also ideal for gardens where thorns are a concern.
