Rose 'Mme. Alfred Carrière'
Rose 'Mme. Alfred Carrière' is a vigorous climbing rose producing large, loosely cupped flowers in creamy white, softly tinged with pink. The elegant blooms carry a strong, sweet and fruity fragrance, creating a beautiful display from early summer onwards.
First flowering in June and July, 'Mme. Alfred Carrière' repeats well through the season, providing colour and fragrance into late summer. Its strong, bushy and upright growth is clothed in plentiful foliage, while the stems can be trained to create a softer, more graceful effect.
Introduced by Schwartz in 1879, this very tall climber is particularly well suited to covering large walls, structures or growing into mature trees. It can be grown in full sun or partial shade and is adaptable to a wide range of soil types.

Getting the most from your new Rose
Where to plant
Choose an open, sunny position with free-draining soil. Avoid planting where roses have grown before or transfer fresh soil to the site. Climbing and Rambling roses can be trained up walls, fences and other supports.
Planting
Roses love organic matter, so mix well-rotten manure, leaf mould or compost into the soil. Water thoroughly before planting. Make a hole big enough not to disturb the root ball. Remove from the pot and ensure the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil. Back-fill soil mixed with a good fertilizer, then firm. Water thoroughly.
Aftercare
Water well until established. Mulching will keep the soil weed-free and moist. For best results feed your roses with fertilizer in spring and again in summer. Remove faded flowers to encourage speedy repeat flowering.
Simple Pruning
Prune your rose in March or before new growth by removing any dead or very thin branches and reducing the height by 1/3 to 2/3 of the previous growth.
