More information
Sombreuil is a winter-hardy Tea-Noisette rose. Buds open to flat rosettes composed of many wavy petals with a green button at the center. The blooms are creamy white with a pale pink tint toward the center, borne in small clusters (usually 3) and sometimes singly, and they remain upright without drooping. Flowering is profuse and nearly continuous, and spent blooms drop cleanly. Petals are delicate, so the cultivar performs better in hot, dry conditions. Suitable for cutting. Foliage is dark with sharply pointed tips. Growth can reach up to 10m.
