Rosa
'Adelaide d' Orleans'
I think this would
get the prize of "most beautiful rambler" (If I was a
judge!) The flat semi double white flowers have a hint of pink
and have been likened to a flowering cherry the way they are
carried in bunches, scented they appear in early summer. The
stems and foliage are red and dark green which sets the flowers
off to perfection. It is a sempervirens rambler so keeps
its leaves in winter, vigorous to about 15' with flexible stems.
Bred by Jacque in France 1826
