The rose 'Abbaye de Cluny', an appearance of an old rose

It blooms in June and July, then again in September and offers roses measuring 10 cm, composed of 20 to 30 pearly petals in soft shades.

The rose 'Evelyn Wild', as charming as it is delightful

The ‘Evelyn Wild’ rose combines the charm of English roses with the delight of its edible flowers. In June, July, and then in September and October, it is adorned with medium-sized bouquets of roses that open like flat cups in subtle shades. Well-formed and fragrant, the roses reveal a gradient of pale apricot to salmon orange with a hint of pink. The foliage of this rosebush is dark green, highlighting the lovely hues of the roses.

The uniqueness of this rosebush lies in the floral, fruity, and sweet flavour of its flowers, which can also be detected when leaning in to smell their perfume. To consume the flowers, harvest the petals when they are fully open, discarding any that are wilted. It is, of course, advisable not to have treated them during cultivation. You can enjoy them in the form of jellies, jams, fruit salads, confections, or syrups.

This rosebush grows into a bush 75 cm high and 70 cm wide. It can be planted in a border or a hedge, but can also be grown in a pot on a terrace. Position it in front of larger bushes and add white foxgloves and blue perennial flax at its base for a lovely romantic effect.
