Comtesse de Ségur® is a delicate and nostalgic rose created by Georges Delbard in 1994, named in honour of the beloved writer Sophie Rostopchine, Comtesse de Ségur. Inspired by her gentle literary world, this rose evokes tenderness, romance, and timeless elegance.

Its beautiful double blooms open in a luminous light pink, glowing softly against dark green deciduous foliage. Flowering is repeat blooming and continues generously from May until the first frosts, bringing lasting charm to borders, beds, or standalone planting.

The fragrance is refined and harmonious, blending sweet notes of red berries with floral nuances reminiscent of peony. Soft, feminine, and full of subtle sweetness, it is a rose that appeals to gardeners who appreciate perfume with delicacy rather than intensity.

Growing to around 80 to 100 cm, Comtesse de Ségur® is a graceful choice for sunny garden spaces, thriving best in rich, well-drained soil. Recognised early on in international competitions, it remains a treasured variety within Delbard’s fragrant rose collections.

Supplied as strong 1-year-old plants in 5L containers.
