For years, Heirloom Roses was selling Albertine as Gloire de Dijon. When I ordered Gloire de Dijon, the tiny toothpick Heirloom sent me took three years to bloom, at which time I saw that the rose was an imposter. In the next few years Albertine grew into a huge rose in my garden. It was pretty, but it had vicious thorns and an unpleasant scent. I ultimately gave it away because I couldn't give so much precious space in my garden to a huge once-bloomer.

Noted by Antique Rose Emporium:
"‘Albertine’ is an excellent choice for use on a tripod or fence. By training this large climber vertically, the delicious fragrance, for which this rose is noted can easily permeate your garden. Red buds open to a 3 inch, rich apricot-pink bloom that fades to white with age, making a nice contrast to the shiny, dark green leaves."
