Your photos are all so beautiful! Do you happen to remember what variety this beauty of a climbing rose was?
Hi there, I’m sure this is the rambler rose Alberic Barbier – prolific – Pretty yellow buds open into fully double, quartered, creamy white flowers, each about 3″ across, held in small clusters. It flowers in early summer and has some ability to repeat flower later in the season. The long, thin, flexible stems are easy to train. It is almost evergreen, with ample, glossy, dark green foliage. Barbier, 1860.
