1830 12 to 20 feet Named for General Lamarque, this rose is the result of a cross between ‘Blush Noisette’ and ‘Parks’ Yellow Tea-scented China’. A fine, vigorous climber, its flow ers are of medium size, double in form, with white petals that have a touch of lemon yellow at the base. Nancy Steen, in The Charm of Old Roses, says that "the fragrance of the flowers is clean and delicious." We have had bouquets of ‘Lamarque’ on the table for Christmas Day. A superb climbing rose. Please note: Depending on the variety, it's possible your climber can take longer to bloom than a regular shrub. The old garden saying is "first year they sleep, second year they creep, third year they leap". Some climbers can take a few years before they put on their first blooms, but we promise... it's well worth the wait! Show more
