Jean de la Fontaine, Meilland 2021
Hybrid Tea
A stunning new variety with breathtaking light pink to apricot quartered blooms. Extremely free flowering and very disease resistant as we are used to with new Meilland creations.
About its fragrance Matthias has this to say:
"Le parfum puissant qui s’en échappe est tout simplement délicieux, avec ses premières notes citronnées vite rejointes par des senteurs florales de rose et violette nuancé de fragrances de miel. N’hésitez pas à couper quelques-unes de ses roses pour vos bouquets…"
English: The powerful fragrance this rose exudes is simply delicious with primal notes of citrus immediately joined by notes of Damask and violets and a hint of honey. Don't hesitate to cut some for a bouquet 💐
Jean de la fontaine rose isn't tall, with a length of 70 cm she's ideal for pots and in front of the border or, as Matthias suggests: As a cut flower
Jean de la Fontaine was a famous French Classicist writer and poet from the 17th century. I think it's a perfect rose to honor this cultural giant. Go and buy her my children!
