For any order of 3 bare-root roses, a 4th rose of our choice will be offered.

Description

The rose is very double with numerous petals; it is elegant and delicate. It has a full, natural appearance. Growing on a healthy, vigorous shrub, the flower boasts a beautiful, very light powdery pink hue blended with creamy white on the outer petals.

The center of the rose is a deeper shade, sometimes with hints of light peach. It exudes a fresh scent of old-fashioned roses and citrus.

Generous and elegant, it serves as a bridge between France and America—between the gentleness of a garden in Auvergne or Virginia and the ideal of freedom that Lafayette championed throughout his life.

Roseraie Ducher

Our history

It is in 1845, in Lyon, that Claude Ducher organised the first world exhibition ever dedicated to the queen of flowers. The same year, he created his rose nursery and was internationally recognised 20 years later with the rose 'Abraham Lincoln' chosen to honor the President of the United States of America. Ducher's roses have gone through the centuries: 'Marie Van Houte', 'Reve d'Or', 'Gloire de Ducher', 'Ducher', 'Mademoiselle Cecile Brunner', and many others are still cultivated all around the world.

With its unique expertise and team of specialists, Roseraie Ducher has been producing roses for six generations. Choosing Roseraie Ducher means choosing excellence.

Bare-root rose bushes are only shipped during the dormant season, i.e. from late October to early April. A potted rose bush can be planted all year round, during the growing season, and is packaged in 5.5-liter pots.

Our roses are grafted onto Rosa laxa, which is rare! Some varieties are also propagated by cuttings. This allows you to plant our roses in any soil, even the most calcareous, and they will be very resistant to drought. You can therefore plant them throughout the growing season, even in mountainous areas.

We offer a selection guide on our website based on your needs (climbing roses, bushes, fragrant roses, disease-resistant roses, etc.). You can also contact us for personalized advice.
