Rosa Generosa 'Michel Jonasz' Shrub Rose

The Generosa Rose Bush 'Michel Jonasz' is a modern and fragrant rose bush with an exceptional colour, an intense and enchanting fuchsia pink, capable of enhancing an entire garden section. Round and bushy, this brand-new rose bush from Guillot displays double cup-shaped flowers with centrally arranged petals spiralled in an elegant manner, providing a unique aesthetic. A whirlwind saturated with pink, capturing the wonderful fragrance of old roses. This bush is adorned with beautiful dark green matte foliage, a perfect backdrop for its well-perpetual flowering late into the season. 

The Generosa roses are modern (even ultra-modern) with the appearance of old roses. They combine the charm of yesteryear's roses with the robustness, surprising colours, and long flowering of modern roses. 'Michel Jonasz' is a bushy rose bush with a rounded habit. At maturity, it will reach approximately 1m (3ft) in all directions. Flowering begins in May and only stops with the arrival of frost. The plant produces countless red buds, opening into wide 6cm (2in) cups. The petals are neatly spiralled at the centre. Their fuchsia-pink colour does not fade in the sun. They emit a pleasant fragrance. The foliage is abundant, healthy, deciduous, with a dark green matte colour, and requires little maintenance. This bush is very hardy.

The 'Michel Jonasz' rose is an accomplished variety, but also delicate and somewhat melancholic, endowed with many qualities: fragrance, floribundity, shape of the flowers, and colour. It should be planted in a large border or a monochrome flower bed if you have enough space. Some perennial plants and grasses are ideal for enhancing its beauty and accompanying it late into the season. Pair it with Geranium psilostemon, shrubby salvias, magenta or white lychnis, Panicum, Miscanthus 'Ghana', or Nepeta 'Walker's Low'. It will also look good as a solitary plant surrounded by grey foliage. Its flowers make rhythmic bouquets surrounded by dark green foliage.
