René Barbier (France 1900-1931)
The Barbiers nursery was run by Rene and partners in Orleans, France in the early 20th century. They introduced many spectacular wichuriana ramblers. These were often crossed with Tea roses to create bigger blooms. Only a few hardy varieties remain on the market today, with the rarer others displayed in specialist collections such as L’Hay-les-Roses and Sangerhausen.
