Description
About Mme Alfred Carrière
Other Details

We are intoxicated by the fruity scent of Mme Alfred Carriére, one of the most fragrant of all roses. She produces clusters of large, globular, cupped, 3 ½” flowers with 40+ petals of soft pearl-pink, aging to cream. Mme Alfred Carriére is one of the hardiest Noisettes and can handle drought, a variety of soil types, and even shade. She is a vigorous plant with attractive foliage and minimal thorns, but she doesn’t like her leaves to stay wet so be sure to water at the base! This repeat blooming Climber will joyfully cover a fence, obelisk, or garden wall in no time.

Great rose with very few thorns

We planted this about 4 years ago. This year we cut down an ash tree that partially shaded it and the rose took off.

Just what I was looking for

We have planted our roses and cannot wait to see them grow. This has been a great experience. I got the roses I was looking for. The plants arrived healthy and already have new growth. We are very happy and will definitely use Heirloom Roses again.

Fast growing and LOVELY fragrance

I followed the instructions to a T. Dug a $100 dollar hole :). Planted her last year and didn’t see much as expected. This spring she is happy and growing really fast. Two flowers on her - they smell heavenly!!!! Absolutely magical. A true rose scent with a little magic in it, too. I am so happy with it. She does have a little powder mildew (zone 8, Portland, OR).

Nothing the first year, then - wow!

I planted several of these, two on either side of an arbor and one at the base of a tree. The first year they barely even grew and there were no blooms. Then, this past spring they took off like crazy. From less than two feet tall to now covering the arbor in it's entirely and full of blooms. I've had to shape the arbor roses a couple of times due to their insane growth. The one at the base of the tree is being trained up the tree and doing just as well. Intoxicating fragrance and perfect for near the front entrance where we can smell them everyday.
