paris rose gardens

22 years ago

My wife and I are planning a visit to Paris in the next couple of weeks to see the rose gardens. Right now we plan to arrive on June 17th.

Does anyone have any advice? Is this a good time to go, because we could go a week earlier if this would be a better time for the peak bloom of antique roses.

Thanks in advance,

Stuart

Stuart,

I don't know when is the best period for the peek bloom. All I can say is that in my garden near Geneva where the winters are a bit colder then in Paris (but it has been a very mild winter this year), I've got :
- Mme Isaac Pereire, in full bloom for allready a week
- Yolande d'Aragon, starting
- Boule de neige, starting
- Reine des violettes, starting
- ZÃ©phyrine Drouhin, in bloom for 2-3 days
- Blush Noisette, not yet in bloom

The other ones are to young to say. If I where you I would call a rose garden in Paris to be sure. Such a long way and not beeing there for the peak bloom would be very disappointing !

Have a nice time !

My daffodils are a distant memory, my iris are finished, the dayliies have just begun opening up, and the roses have been blooming for quite a long time. But it's a long way from here to Maine. These pictures of France are very beautiful, thanks for sharing them with us! Some day, on a trip to England, I'll take a quick detour for a day or two to France. Randy

Thanks so much! Haku I believe Giverny is on our Museum Pass which we plan on abusing as much as possible! I hear it's not worth the trouble in high season cause all you see is other people's cellphone screens, but that's true of all of Paris and one reason we're going in the fall! Lisa, that's fantastic - I have one day by myself while H does his work thing so I'll just be wandering. We're staying very close to city center and there's a tiny botanical garden I imagine I'll spend a lot of time in, and of course DE POEZENBOOT, but if you happen to hear of any special little places I'm all ears. It was a weird summer in our yard so I lurked here a bit till it got depressing, but my baby own-root roses are already sighing in relief. PRO TIP: the thing about blowing on buds you think are balling? Works. Not practical in a real garden but I was not going to let my very first SdlM fizzle out! I am happy to see our Texas and Florida people doing okay, what a nightmare, and I was thinking of our Italian folks as well, looks like you all got a bit of relief! Next time H has work in Amsterdam we'll be going to Italy so I'll be pestering you guys with the same question.

I agree that roses are a mixed bag as far as pruning, depending on the habit of the rose and also how well it tolerates cold if you're in a cold climate. Some of my roses I'm forced to prune because of cold damage, and some of them don't need a single inch taken off. Gardeners have different styles too, of course, a lot of my collection are ramblers or fountaining shrubs that I chose specifically because I wanted them to have a certain natural shape that did not need my coaxing to acheive. It's a messier, more natural look that not everyone likes but I'm not the formal type. But certainly not all roses need pruning and they don't just grow indefinitely unless you prune them. That said, my Moonlight in Paris never exceeded 3.5' tall and maybe 2.5' wide by the end of the season. It did need pruning each spring from cold damage.

Thanks for your help! The hard part is guessing when the peak bloom will be. I will try to call the gardens, but my French is pretty awful.

Stuart, if they don't speak english, what
I guess they may do, ask :
"Pourriez-vous me dire quelle est la meilleure pÃ©riode pour voir les roses anciennes en pleine floraison ?"

Of course, you'll have to understand the answer...

If you think that you will not understand it, let me know, I'll phone for you and will give you the answer.

Stuart,

Generally the peak bloom is around 5-6 of june, but this year, it seems to be a bit later for climbers.
I will take a look tomorrow and let you know.

Bye

Stuart,

It really depends on what you are interested in.
The peak bloom for centifolias & Gallicas begins now.
For Ramblers & Climbers Wichruraiana, wait for 1 more week.
