Rosa 'Jeanne Coeur' (Oranobri)

The Rose Jeanne Coeur® is a modern hybrid tea rose with generous and pleasantly scented flowers. They emerge from primrose yellow buds and open into large milky-white turbinate flowers with a lemon heart that becomes pure white, creating a palette of fresh colours on the plant. They bloom from late spring until frost on a vigorous bush adorned with glossy green foliage that is resistant to diseases. Simply superb in flower beds, borders, and bouquets.

'Jeanne Coeur' (Oranobri) is a recently obtained bush rose with large flowers bred by Orard. It is a bushy and upright shrub that reaches 90cm (35in) to 1m (3ft) in height with a spread of 60cm (24in) at maturity, with rapid growth. It produces sturdy, somewhat stiff, thorny branches that bear very elegant and robust foliage, glossy green, and less susceptible to diseases. Throughout the summer, if faded flowers are removed, the plant continuously produces large turbinate flowers measuring over 10cm (4in) in diameter, composed of 40 to 50 petals. They are solitary or grouped in small bouquets and borne at the tips of long shoots from the current year or emerging on 2-year-old stems. Their fragrance is intense, with a strongly lemony note. The deciduous foliage falls in autumn and reappears in spring.

This Rose 'Jeanne Coeur' with its large white roses is ideal as a solitary plant in a well-maintained small garden. It is also perfect for use in large monochromatic borders, as its color is self-sufficient. It can also be paired with yellow, white, or salmon-coloured roses. To accompany it, consider, for example, white or mauve Phlox paniculata, red Penstemons, daisies, as well as the dark foliage of certain Physocarpus ('Burgundy Candy'), or the feathery foliage of bronze fennel. Its cut flowers, fragrant and long-lasting, are naturally perfect for bouquets.
