Jean Cocteau

Only an original and exceptionally talented rose can be dedicated to Jean Cocteau! Thus, the JEAN COCTEAU rose combines generous flowering and abundance from May-June until frost, with regular vegetation and unerring robustness. In the garden, as in a fairy tale, this delicate rose will charm you with its many talents. From late spring to early winter, the JEAN COCTEAU rose blooms again and again in abundance and in a continuous rhythm.

The flowers, grouped in bunches of 2 to 7 flowers, open their 25 to 27 petals, in fuzzy corollas with a unique and special relief. This original form of rose is further emphasized by the new color called "in two inverted colors". In fact, the obverse (front side) of the petal, a deep ochre orange with a hint of pink, is lighter than the reverse side. Once fully open, the pink flowers offer a view of their stamens, which bees and other insects are happy to visit.

The JEAN COCTEAU rose proves to be a force of nature! With lush and balanced vegetation, it forms an elegant bush that reaches about 80-90 cm in height. Its beautiful bright green leaves have excellent disease resistance. God's hand for a no-till garden!
