Prix J. P. Redouté

J. P. Redouté from Belgium became immortal with his unsurpassed horticultural drawings. Especially his rose drawings are highly praised. 

Dominique Massad from Guillot wanted to honor the great man with a rose. Prix J. P. Redouté was released in 2010 as part of the old fashioned Générosa collection from Guillot

The Générosa collection is extremely popular in South and Eastern Europe including Russia and Ukraine. They prefer the Générosa varieties to those from DA. When I spoke to the owner of a famous Italian rose nursery last week she told me that they disliked the modern DA varieties and preferred the old ones, a complaint that's heard very often 

But back to Prix JP Redouté: Clusters of medium sized, rosette shaped flowers in the warm colors pink, orange, peach and apricot. A strong Tea with vanilla fragrance adds to the beauty. 

Growth is rather upright and can reach 120X80 cm or 4X3 feet. With some support she can get taller and would make a beautiful small climber or obelisk rose.

She blooms all summer and well into autumn. Health is good and the flowers are rain resistant. Very hardy zone 4b to 9b

A beautiful splash of color!
