Old Garden Roses: The Albas

If you're looking to try an old garden rose (heirloom) for your garden, the Alba class would be a good place to start: cold hardy, disease resistant, well-scented, and a vigorous garden shrub. This is my third video in a series on old garden roses, describing the various classes. Next up: the Chinas!
