Mme Lambard (Mme Lombard)

Mme Lambard was bred by Lacharme in 1878 as a result of the cross between Mme de Tartas and a direct descendant of Safrano. It is a most beautiful rose which shows the quintessential essence of the Tea roses

Mme Lambard (often called Lombard or Bloomfield cemetery Tea) is a real color chameleon as it's flowers can vary strongly depending on the temperature. She's light pink to candy pink with bronze or coppery highlights and salmon pink shading. Best color is during cooler temperatures. She flowers almost continuously from late spring well into Autumn. The flowers stand in small clusters. Very strong Tea fragrance. The bloom shape reminds us of a double Safrano with the typical scrolled back petals. They make a very elegant impression 

She can be quite vigorous and a strong grower but generally she get 120X120 cm or 4X4 feet. It's an extremely tough rose and there are many specimens today of 60 years and older.

She's among the most Hardy Tea roses and you can grow her in zone 6b to 11b. She doesn't like to be cut for the vase as the flowers quickly fade. Rain, heat and drought resistant.

Mme Lambard is one of the best examples of the sheer beauty of the Tea family
