Rosa 'La rose Monsieur' - Hybrid Tea Rose

The Rose 'La rose Monsieur' Rosebush (delrouniparf) is a modern hybrid tea rose, vigorous, disease-resistant, and highly floriferous from May to October. Beyond these qualities that one will appreciate in the garden, this magnificent scented rose pays homage to the Monsieur magazine, created by fashion designer Paul Poiret in 1920, which remains the reference in terms of style and elegance today. Its perfect roses are also perfectly rosy red. The fragrance of the flowers, complex like a great 'juice', reveals a beautiful balance between floral and fruity notes on a woody background. A rose that will be appreciated in the garden for its robustness and, of course, in floral compositions for its great class.

'La Rose Monsieur' or 'delrouniparf' is a bush rose with large clustered flowers launched in 2020 by the Delbard rose breeder, belonging to the series of roses 'Les grands parfums'. A bushy and upright shrub, a bit stiff, reaches an average height of 90 cm (35in) with a spread of 60 cm (24in) at maturity, with rapid growth. It produces strong, thorny branches that bear dense foliage divided into large, toothed leaflets with a shiny dark green colour. Throughout the summer and until October, if faded flowers are removed, the plant produces waves of 9 cm (4i) flowers with a turbinate shape that recalls its blog to the hybrid tea rose category. They are composed of satin green leaves with double flowers and made up of satiny petals of an intense red with pink or black highlights, depending on the light. Their fragrance is pronounced, rich, and can be decomposed as follows: a base note of undergrowth, a fruity heart note (apple, pear, mango, and redcurrant), and finally a floral top note (rose, lilac, violet). The flowers are solitary, carried at the end of long shoots from the current year or emerging from 2-year-old stems. The foliage of this variety is healthy under good growing conditions.

As the Delbard rose, breeder explains about the 'Les Grands Parfums' roses: "Each of these roses has an intense, very personal fragrance, composed of olfactory notes assembled in an original way. Fleeting or more tenacious, flowery or woody, these notes leave an unforgettable trail like a high-end perfume".

'La Rose Monsieur' is superb in mass plantings, in groups of 3 plants, in large monochromatic borders or combination with white or red roses. It also blends well with light shrubs, perennials, and annuals such as Gaura, paniculate Gypsophila, campanulas, paniculate Phlox, or tall Digitalis. It can be beautifully showcased in front of a boxwood or yew screen or, on the contrary, surrounded by a miniature hedge or a well-organised maze, as in Italian or French gardens. You can also plant a herbaceous clematis with blue flowers like Clematis heracleifolia or a Sollya heterophylla at its base in mild climates. Finally, its roses are stunning in bouquets, combined with lilies in summer or asters in autumn.
