Jardins de Bagatelle

Jardins de Bagatelle, Meilland before 1986

HT, Grandiflora 

Seed: Queen Elizabeth X Elegie
Pollen: Laura 81

Meilland knows how to create the most perfect shaped HT buds and flowers. Combined with good growth and an exquisite fragrance its rather strange this rose isn't more grown

Cream with pink or yellow shading, very double, typical HT blooms. They stand in small clusters on strong upright stems. The rose can reach 120X70 cm or 4X3 feet. The blooms are highly fragrant with lemon and Damask
Blooms freely all summer long 

Zone 4b to 11b. She's praised a lot on different fora and sites and it remains a mystery why she isn't grown more widely
