The 'La Marne' rose is a classic polyantha shrub, introduced in 1915 by Barbier Frères et Compagnie, known for its abundant, repeat blooms of pink and white flowers and disease resistance. The name commemorates the 1914 Battle of the Marne, a significant conflict during World War I. This low-maintenance, nearly thornless rose is a popular choice for hedges and landscape plantings due to its robust nature and continuous flowering throughout the season.
