List of rose varieties

The Rambler rose variety Albertine is a descendant of Rosa wichuraiana × 'Mrs Arthur Robert Waddell'. It blooms only once, but abundantly with coral-colored buds that bloom bright pink and then fade to a soft pink. The flowers grow in clusters of 3–7, have a loose, open shape and have a strong odor.

'Albertine' has glossy dark green leaves. It climbs up to 5 m high with copper-colored, strong-growing shoots - the shoots have large, hooked spines. It is vigorous and has a very beautiful habit.

It is suitable for climbing fences and pelargoniums, but can also be used as a free-standing shrub with a light support. Airy locations are favorable to avoid the occasional powdery mildew infestation. Compared to other Wichuraiana roses, the undemanding and blooming rose is only frost hardy to −17 ° C ( USDA zone 7 ).
