Hardy, with a good disease resistance, this rose performs well in partial sunlight even on a north-facing position. This rambling rose is a versatile choice for many garden settings. Alberic Barbier is a good choice for covering fences, walls and pergolas and even to entwine through large trees, which is a vision to behold. An added bonus is that the foliage can often last through most of winter.
