Albéric Barbier




Generally regarded as one of the most beautiful climbers. The well-formed lemon-yellow buds, creamy-white flowers and the evergreen foliage offer an overwhelming, decorative sight. Flowers are large, loosely double and borne in trusses. Growth is vigorous, producing long, flexible stems with little thorns and creating a sea of flowers in June, with a very good second flush. Excellent for growing against north-facing walls, for climbing into trees, pergolas etc
