This rose is one of the oldest garden roses still common today and should not be missing from any garden. It only blooms once, but very persistently, and afterwards the foliage adorns this beautiful bush. This rose forms an unmissable eye-catcher with its stately, upright growth. On every shoot there are numerous cream-pink flowers, which also smell sweet and spicy. In my opinion these wonderful Alba roses should be planted much more often, because they are very low-maintenance and simply smell wonderful.Automatically translated · Show original
Diese robuste Sorte steht seit 2 Jahren in meinem Garten und besticht durch wunderschöne und unempfindliche Blüten, sie wächst aufrecht und hat ein wunderbares Blattgrün, zudem ist sie absolut unempfindlich ! Sie blüht bei mir bis spät in den September .Für mich duftet sie nicht so typisch nach Rose, sondern hat einen etwas eigenwilligen würzigen Duft. Ich kann sie nur empfehlen ! Ein Blickfang in jedem Garten.
