The creamy white blooms are very large, flat and quartered, with the most delicious Tea fragrance. The plant is reportedly free from mildew. A mannerly climber, 'Sombreuil' is ideally suited for use as a pillar rose, or to be trained on a low wall, fence or trellis. A beautiful rose for a warm summer evening, when the white, saucer-sized blossoms seem to glow in the dark.  The description above is based on our research and observations of this plant growing in our nursery and in our own and other Santa Barbara gardens.
