Only an original and extremely talented rose could be dedicated to Jean Cocteau! Thus, the JEAN COCTEAU rose combines generous and abundant blooming from May-June until frost with regular vegetation and infallible robustness. In the garden as in a story, 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 profusion and at a continuous pace.
The flowers, grouped in clusters of 2 to 7, open their 25 to 27 petals into fuzzy corollas with a unique and distinct relief. This original rose shape is further accentuated by the new color called "reversed two-tone." In fact, the obverse (front side) of the petal, an intense ocher-orange with a shade of pink, is lighter than the reverse. Once fully open, the rose flowers offer a view of their stamens, which bees and other insects enjoy visiting.
The JEAN COCTEAU rose proves to be a force of nature! With vigorous and balanced vegetation, it forms an elegant bush, reaching approximately 80-90 cm in height. Its beautiful bright green leaves benefit from excellent disease resistance. A godsend for a garden without treatment!
Presented at international rose competitions, the JEAN COCTEAU rose did not go unnoticed and gathered a fine harvest of awards and medals. Certificate of Merit Paris Bagatelle 2007.
