Rose - Parfum de Paris

Common Name:
Parfum de Paris Rose

Description:
Parfum de Paris is a deeply romantic and richly fragrant shrub rose from Delbard’s Grand Parfums Collection, combining classic French charm with modern garden performance. It produces large, fully double, quartered blooms in a glowing rose-pink that fades to a soft creamy blush at the petal base. The fragrance is intense and layered, offering a luxurious blend of rose, citrus, raspberry, violet and honeysuckle tones. This rose is a repeat bloomer, flowering generously from late spring through to the first frosts. The plant has a tidy, upright habit and glossy, disease-resistant foliage, making it an excellent choice for beds, borders, or as a feature in a rose garden. In Melbourne’s climate, Parfum de Paris thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, with strong performance in both heat and cooler conditions. Its breathtaking scent and lasting colour make it a standout in any garden or as a cut flower.
