About Lamarque Rose
Botanically, Rosa 'Lamarque' is a fast-growing climber in the Rosaceae family. It reaches around 4 m tall and 3 m wide at maturity, with evergreen foliage. White flowers appear for much of the year.
Where to grow Lamarque Rose
Lamarque Rose suits warm-temperate, Mediterranean and subtropical climates and grows best in full sun and part shade or morning sun. It is frost hardy and shrugs off cold winters.
Soil & planting
Lamarque Rose does best in free-draining and loamy soil. Plant into well-prepared ground, firm the soil around the roots and water deeply to settle it in.
Watering & feeding
Lamarque Rose is regular, moderate watering. A feed in spring with a balanced fertiliser keeps growth strong. In its first year, water deeply once or twice a week to settle the roots in, then taper off as it establishes.
Pruning & care
Prune Lamarque Rose after flowering to keep it compact and encourage the next flush of blooms. Overall it is low maintenance.
Using Lamarque Rose in the garden
Lamarque Rose earns its place for a feature or specimen planting, its fragrance and cut flowers for the vase.
Companion planting & design
For a cohesive, low-care bed, pair Lamarque Rose with other plants that enjoy the same regular, moderate watering and warm-temperate climate. Repeat it through a border to tie the planting together and give a sense of rhythm.
Good to know
It is thornless and easy to handle.
