History: A beautiful old Noisette climber “Mme Alfred Carriere” was bred in France in 1879 by Joseph Schwartz who was responsible for many famous roses. “Mme Ernest Calvat” and “Roger Lambelin” are two other well-known roses. He named this rose after the wife of Alfred Carriere, who was the chief editor of “Revue Horticole” a famous horticultural publication in France in the 1800’s and a keen amateur rosarian.
It is one of the most popular climbers, going back as far as 1908 and it is still a favourite. Gertrude Jekyll, England’s famous writer, and garden designer described this lovely rose as the best white climber of the period. Vita Sackville-West chose “Mme Alfred Carriere” as the first climbing rose to be planted in the rose garden at Sissinghurst in the 1930s and it still covers the walls of the South Cottage today.
“Mme Alfred Carriere” is in the “Old Rose Hall Of Fame run by the World Federation Of Rose Societies. The Old Rose Hall Of Fame recognizes roses of historical or genealogical importance and the roses which have enjoyed continued popularity over a great many years. And also has the Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit. 1993.
