Rosa Hameau Duboeuf

Rose Hameau Duboeuf® 'Ordassac' is dedicated to the eponymous park, the only one in Europe entirely devoted to the history and viticultural practices of Beaujolais. It is a modern hybrid tea rose with intensely red and beautifully scented flowers. They are born on a vigorous plant with strong vegetation and beautiful dark green foliage that is highly resistant to diseases. The flowering begins in late spring and continues until the first frost. Simply remarkable in beds, perfect in vases. This variety also adapts very well to container gardening.

Rose Hameau Duboeuf® is a bush rose with large flowers recently obtained by Orard. It is a bushy and upright shrub that reaches 90cm (35in) to 1m (3ft) in height and 60cm (24in) in width at maturity, with rapid growth. It produces solid, slightly stiff and thorny branches that bear very elegant, sturdy foliage of glossy green, which is not very susceptible to diseases. The young shoots are coloured purple, copper, and bronze. Throughout the growing season, if faded flowers are removed, the plant continuously produces large turbinate flowers measuring 7 to 8cm (3in) in diameter, composed of 50 petals. They are solitary or grouped in small bouquets and borne at the ends of long shoots from the current year or emerging from 2-year-old stems. Their scent is intense and intoxicating, with aromas of flowers, fruit peels, and spices. The deciduous foliage falls in autumn and reappears in spring.

Rose Hameau Duboeuf, with its perfect large red roses, is ideal as a standalone plant in a well-maintained small garden or in a large pot on the terrace. It is also perfect for use in large monochrome borders, as its elegance is enough on its own. It can also be paired with white or shades of pink, mauve, or purple roses. To accompany it, consider, for example, white panicle phlox ('Fujiyama', 'Tiara'...) or mauve ('Olympus', 'Flame Marine'...), Penstemons, daisies, but also the dark foliage of certain Physocarpus ('Burgundy Candy'), or the feathery foliage of bronze fennel. Its cut flowers, with their strong fragrance and long-lasting quality, are naturally perfect for bouquets.
