Large eye-catching FRAGRANT blooms that positively GLOW at dusk, contrasting beautifully with its dark green foliage. The 3” flowers are creamy white with an apricot flush in the center, very flat & frilly in an old-fashioned manner. The refreshing green apple scent will bring you back for more sniffs. Blooming off and on Spring thru Fall. Sombreuil is a pillar rose, meaning it is more dense than a climbing rose & does not send out long climbing shoots. It will become 8-12’ tall & 4-6’ wide. Very vigorous & disease resistant. It looks very good up against a fence & if you are looking for a nice thorny barrier, Sombreuil fits the spot.
