Adélaïde d'Orléans is a graceful rambler with pink buds that open to soft semi double flowers which fade from cream to white. The blooms are held in small sprays that hang lightly from the stems giving a look similar to flowering cherry. The growth is lax and easy to guide which makes it suitable for arches pergolas and small trees. Unlike many ramblers it keeps a fair amount of leaf through winter giving longer interest. First introduced in 1826 it remains a charming choice for adding gentle height and seasonal colour.
