Rosa 'Albertine' is a salmon-pink hybrid wichurana, a large-flowered rambling rose that blooms in clusters once a year. The cultivar was bred by René Barbier before 1921 and introduced into Australia by Hazlewood Bros. Pty. Ltd. in 1923 as "Albertine". It has been awarded the Award of Garden Merit (AGM) by the Royal National Rose Society (RNRS) in 1993.
"Albertine" is a rambling rose, 6'7 to 20 ft (200–610 cm) in height, with a 10 to 15 ft (305–455 cm) plant spread. The rose has medium (26-40 petals) cupped-shaped, semi-double or fully double flowers. The plant grows well in garden beds and containers. It blooms in clusters once a year, typically in late spring. "Albertine" has a mild to moderate fragrance. The flowers are salmon pink with coral backs, opening from darker reddish-salmon buds. The flowers are composed of irregular petals and bloom in clusters of 3–7.[1] The stems are purple and arching in form and has heavy thorns. The rose makes an excellent cut flower. The foliage is dark green and glossy, but is susceptible to mildew. "Albertine" has been awarded the Award of Garden Merit (AGM) by the Royal National Rose Society (RNRS) in 1993.[2][3]
