Rosa 'Madame Lauriol de Barny' is an Old Garden rose of the Bourbon Group that was bred in 1868 by French breeder Victor Trouillard.
It has very fragrant double flowers in a pale pink colour that bloom from late spring to early summer. It can, if conditions are right, also produce more blooms in autumn.
It has a bushy habit but can become rather straggly, so is often trained as a climber and looks especially good trained up against an old brick wall, making the ultimate 'cottage' statement.
The Bourbon Rose Group:
The Bourbon rose was a naturally occur
ring hybrid from two roses being used as hedging on the Isle of Bourbon, now Renuion in the Indian Ocean.
The French East India Company brought cuttings back to France where it was subsequently introduced across Europe.
Flowers are very fragrant, ruffled double form and were one of the first to produce more than one flush of blooms per season.
Examples include ‘Souvenir de Malmaison’, ‘Venus’ and ‘Ferdinand Pichard’ which features red/pink stripes.
