Rose - Chartreuse de Parme

Common Name:
Chartreuse de Parme Rose

Description:
Chartreuse de Parme is a richly fragrant, award-winning modern shrub rose bred in France by Delbard. It produces large, fully double blooms in a deep lilac-pink shade with smoky undertones. Each flower is elegantly cupped, composed of over 40 velvety petals, and carries a powerful perfume combining citrus, mandarin, and classic old rose notes. This rose is a strong repeat bloomer, flowering in flushes from late spring through to autumn. It has a neat, upright and bushy growth habit, supported by glossy dark green foliage that shows excellent resistance to common rose diseases. In Melbourne gardens, Chartreuse de Parme performs best in full sun and well-drained soil, making it a standout choice for rose beds, mixed borders or large decorative containers. It is also highly valued for its long-lasting cut flowers and beautiful scent.
