About Madame Alfred Carrière Potted Climbing Rose

Rosa 'Madame Alfred Carrière'

A timeless climbing Noisette rose cherished for its elegant clusters of creamy-white flowers with a soft hint of blush pink. The blooms are cupped and double, offering a rich, fruity-sweet fragrance that fills the air from early summer well into fall. The nearly thornless, pliable canes (reaching 15–20 ft) make this rose easy to train over arches, walls, or pergolas. Vigorously growing and repeat-flowering, it performs beautifully even in partial shade or north-facing spots.
