La Rose Monsieur® is a refined and powerful creation from Georges Delbard, developed as a tribute to Monsieur magazine, an iconic symbol of French masculine elegance since 1920. Created to mark the centenary of this legendary publication, this rose embodies timeless style, discreet charm, and unmistakable presence.
Its large, very full cup-shaped blooms open in an intense deep red, almost garnet in tone, with a velvety finish that gives the flower a luxurious and sophisticated appearance. Flowering is abundant and repeat blooming, continuing from May until the first frosts, with excellent vase life.
The fragrance is rich and beautifully structured. Fresh floral top notes of rose, lilac, and violet lead into a fruity heart of apple, pear, mango, and redcurrant, finishing with warm woody undertones reminiscent of the forest floor. Dense, glossy dark green foliage completes the elegant character of this variety.
Growing to around 80 to 100 cm, La Rose Monsieur® is ideal for borders, beds, or container planting, thriving best in full sun. With good natural disease resistance and excellent winter hardiness, it is a striking choice for gardeners who value both colour and perfume.
Supplied as strong 1-year-old plants in 5L containers.
