More information
Lambert Closse bears blooms that align more closely with the traditional rose form than is typical for many Canadian cultivars. The variety most closely resembles a tea-hybrid (hybrid tea) rose. The blooms have elongated petals and open a dark pink that fades to a very pale pink, beginning at the outer petals, producing a marked contrast as the flower opens. Blooms usually occur singly on strong, upright shoots. The foliage is pale, glossy, and generally disease resistant, though black spot may appear in mild climates. The plant is upright, and flowering continues until the first frost.
The soft pink blooms show a hybrid tea-like shape. The petals are pointed, and when the double flowers open, the petals curve downward. The foliage is bright green, shiny, and shows moderate disease resistance. The cultivar roots readily, although cuttings are difficult to obtain because the bush often bears more flowers than leaves.
