Bouquet d'or

The great Claude Ducher gave us this magnificent Dijon Tea in 1872. Like it's parent Gloire de Dijon Bouquet d'or has some of the most beautiful rose flowers of all roses

Large, very full, often quartered, cupped flowers in a dreamy buff/apricot/yellow color palette. A moderate Tea fragrance will increase in hot weather. Borne mostly solitary the flowers have the typical weak neck syndrome of nearly all Teas so the beautiful flowers nod towards us. Continuously flowering all summer and autumn long.

Vigorous and sturdy Bouquet d'or doesn't suffer from gene deterioration like her mother Gloire de Dijon. 400 cm or 12 feet and even a bit more in good conditions

Hardiness is very good and ranges from 6b to 10b. Rain tolerant and of course heat and drought resistant. Needs full sun and a warm spot to thrive. Excellent under glass too.

If you have rather warm, dry summers and moderate winters? Then you have to buy Bouquet d'or!
