Customer Reviews
I never wrote a review when I received my rose as this was bare root, received in winter. Not much to write about.
8 years on, she's a real beauty.
I got this rose after a visit to Sissinghurst. Madame Alfred Carriere was one of the first roses Vita Sackville West bought for her white garden. I was so inspired.
I got this rose to cover a rather bare, ugly, new build extension next door imposed on me. She really delivered. I look forward to welcoming the flowers each year.
Each year, throughout the season, I get the most beautiful white with pink blush roses nodding on green growth. Today, 28 April, I'm looking at 20 or 30 budding roses. 3 already blooming. Thinking back to my Sissinghurst visit.
I trim back hard in winter, keeping my 'tree' structure. The rose looks gorgeous year on year. Visited by bluetits and wrens, ladybirds and pollinators. Thank you Madame Alfred and Vita S-W.
