Insights
The Barbier nursery opened in 1894 and introduced the hybrid Wichurana rose to Europe in the early 1900s. They developed new cultivars of rose by crossing a hybrid tea with Japanese Rosa Lucieae and produced some of the most stunning varieties including Albertine, Alexandre Girault, and François Juranville. A recipient of the RHS AGM (Award of Garden Merit), for all round excellence.
