Madame Alfred Carrière...






Do you know Madame Alfred Carrière? 









She is the jewel in my garden... 







It is an old rose discovered in 1879. A Victorian plant, yes it is... and great for vases too!



Some grow it as a climber but it is a huge and vigourous plant that I believe at its best used as a big opulent shrub... 







It has long arched stems that are now covered with fragrant blooms, off-white color on a light green folliage. 






My favourite, for sure, and it repeat flowering all summer.






As romantic inside as outside...









Madame Alfred Carrière, do you want to be forever in my garden?












Be sure to grow it in yours... Did I mention that it is an almost thorn-less rose? And it is also a good rose for shady area...

  2. Agree,agree,agree ! Thank you for presenting her visually in various ways. My MAC is situated in Scandinavia, on the edge of her possible living conditions, in partly shadow, sheltered from winds from the ocean, and with a rock wall to give hear extra warmth. She trives, and please us with her lush fragrance. We love her. May she stay "for ever" in our garden, too
