Tea-Noisette; Debreuil, 1904

Exposure:  Morning and filtered afternoon

Although classified as an apricot blend, this rose is actually more of a golden-orange fading to apricot. The color is a bit variable, sometimes showing quite a bit of pink.  Deliciously fragrant blooms are repeated with a frequency that puts many modern climbers to shame.  Vigorous but not heavily caned, this rose is experiencing something of a renaissance in today's gardens. 

I am growing this rose on my front arbor, across from the equally lovely Jaune Desprez.
