Confusion surrounds this very rare rose. We originally thought this rose was the Noisette, ‘La Biche’ and marketed it as such for a number of years. Visiting gardening experts felt strongly that our rose was incorrectly identified and that its rightful name is 'Mademoiselle de Sombreuil.’ The cupped flowers are large, semi-double, and tea-scented. The canes are tinged purple while the foliage is a bright green and holds for some time. It is a handsome shrub but can be grown as a pillar rose as well.
Please note: Depending on the variety, some True Antiques take a little longer to grow and bloom than more modern rose varieties. They are the perfect choice for those who cherish the classic beauty, fragrance, and timeless nature of these historical roses. For those looking for more instant gratification within their gardens, we encourage you to check out some of the more modern roses on our website.

We ship our roses from September to May. Other items ship year round.
At checkout, you may choose your desired delivery timeframe. This is a very important step!
We do ask that you make sure the weather in your zone is suitable for receiving and plating your roses.
Antique Rose Emporium is in Texas and the December weather can be anywhere from below freezing to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. But our weather is extremely mild compared to the northern United States.
We want you to have the best success possible with your roses and ask that you let us care for them over the winter and receive them at the time that you plan to plant.
Please ensure that you are not experiencing freezing temperatures and the ground is not frozen when you plan to receive your rose.
