Celine Forstier at a glance
Dark pink buds that open into soft yellow flowers: Rosa ‘Céline Forestier’ surprises from the very first moment. Its richly filled, quartered blooms have a warmer yellow heart and fade to cream. The silky petals and distinctive tea rose fragrance give this historic climbing rose a refined appearance.
Céline Forestier was bred by Trouillard of Angers and is dated to 1842 by David Austin and Lens. It belongs to the Noisette roses, a historic group in which fragrance, climbing growth, and repeat flowering come together. Exactly who Céline Forestier was and why her name was given to this rose has not been reliably established.
In a warm position, it flowers early in the season, with repeat flowering until late autumn. Let this yellow climbing rose grow along a sunny, sheltered wall, where its flowers and fragrance can truly shine. It needs a carefully chosen location: warmth and shelter are especially important for this romantic rose.
