If you are not planning on spraying your roses every week, be sure your new roses don't have any chemical dependencies.
Unless otherwise noted, all photographs were taken of the roses in our gardens located in Needville, Texas (zone 8b.)
Sombreuil
Tea
1850
`Sombreuil' is a hardy, but thorny, climbing white Tea. The blooms are large, flat and very double. It has a delicious Tea fragrance. It is a good rose to train up a pillar or on a fence. Ours have been nearly smothered for years by `Alistair Stella Grey', so have not grown as much as they should. Now that it is free to enjoy the sun, it should get from 8' to 12' tall.
