Rosa Generosa Bicentenaire de Guillot

Rosa Generosa Bicentenaire de Guillot is an excellent garden rose, robust, healthy, and very perpetual as a Generosa should be. From May to the first frost, it produces double flowers of medium size, which are an intense purple-red colour, almost a peony red. They are also pleasantly scented. Perfect for all gardens, it is ideal in a flower bed, as a specimen plant, and its modest size allows it to be grown in a large pot on the patio. One of the most beautiful creations from the famous Guillot house!

Rosa Generosa Bicentenaire de Guillot is a particularly vigorous and hardy variety. When fully grown, it will reach about 1m (3ft) in height and 90cm (35in) in width. Flowering begins in May-June depending on the climate, and it will only stop with the arrival of frost. The plant produces countless small clusters of flowers. The turbinate buds open into globular and double flowers. The flowers are 8-10 cm (3-4in) wide, of a purple-red colour that withstands the heat of the sun. They emit a light but very pleasant rose fragrance. The foliage is very healthy, deciduous, dark green to enhance the flowering, and requires little maintenance.

Rosa Generosa Bicentenaire de Guillot is ideal for beginner gardeners. Small but sturdy, it blooms consistently and generously regardless of the weather. Grow it in a pot to decorate the patio, or in a flower bed, in groups of 3. Its beautiful red roses are even more beautiful alongside the white roses tinged with red from the Generosa rose 'Eliane Gillet' or the pure white of the David Austin Winchester Cathedral rose. When cut, these red roses will perfume your interior. Make a bouquet to offer to your loved one as well.
