Rosa Eveline Wild

Rosa Eveline Wild produces romantic flowers in shades of apricot salmon, reminiscent of English roses. The flowers reveal a beautiful fragrance that is floral, sweet, and fruity. The petals hold a delightful surprise for curious gardeners: they are edible! This modest-sized bush bears healthy foliage. Its stems arch slightly under the weight of the flowers. The charming roses bloom in abundance in regular and slightly flattened rosettes, filled with petals. It blooms in successive waves from June to October. It is excellent in borders with perennials, well-suited for container gardening, and provides beautiful flowers for bouquets.

This English-style rose bush is a recent creation from the Pheno Geno Roses company, specialised in the creation of edible roses. Each variety has been carefully selected and tested to offer the best flavour and texture. These floriferous and organic-friendly roses provide an abundance of delicious and delicate flowers to use and enjoy in the garden, on a patio, and in the kitchen.

Rosa Eveline Wild will form a small bush with a flexible habit, reaching an average height of 80cm (32in) and a width of 70cm (28in). Its growth rate is rapid. Its graceful stems are covered with an abundance of dark green foliage that is resistant to diseases under proper growing conditions. The deciduous foliage falls in autumn. The flowers are clustered together on this repeat-flowering bush. They are medium-sized (7cm (3in)), with a slightly flattened cup shape, fully double, and perfectly arranged. Each one is a delightful gradient from pale-apricot to salmon-orange with a hint of pink. The flowering takes the form of corymbs, which are clusters of several flowers. Their fragrance emits floral, fruity, and sweet notes. It will be more noticeable in calm and warm weather.

The Eveline Wild rose blends well in a small romantic border, alongside blue, white, or even mauve flowers. Pair it with annual delphiniums, perennial flax, perennial geraniums, or white foxgloves, for example. It will bring a beautiful floral touch to perennial borders and large beds. Roses go perfectly with catmints, campanulas, panicled baby's breath, and herbaceous or climbing clematis. You can plant it in front of taller shrubs or roses, or use it to fill the base of a small tree that it will charmingly adorn.

In the kitchen

Harvest the petals of fully bloomed but not faded flowers (they quickly lose their aroma). Only consume flowers from untreated plants. You can use them in confectionery, to flavour jellies, jams, fruit salads, prepare syrup, or to flavour beverages.
