Rosa 'Marc Chagall' - Hybrid Tea Rose

The 'Marc Chagall' Rose pays a beautiful tribute to the accomplished but somewhat unclassifiable artist that Marc Chagall was. This modern bush produces clusters of large double flowers, whose colour is decidedly pure, cheerful and bright, with a delicate blend of shades of pink, yellow and cream-white. A foliage of beautiful light green adorns this not-very-tall but resourceful bush, whose flowering extends from June to October. An astonishing rose that will be noticed in flower beds and whose subtly scented flowers are superb in a vase!

'Marc Chagall' or 'Delstrirojacre' is a modern shrub rose, a hybrid tea rose, obtained in 2013 by the rose breeder Delbard. It belongs to the ''Painters'RRoses'series, as presented: " n composing these roses, nature, aided by the hybridiser, took its brush to pay tribute to the Impressionists. The colourful pigments of the petals evolve with the intensity of light; the more they are exposed to it, the brighter their colours will be."With a bushy and compact habit, this bush reaches approximately 70 cm (28in) in height and 60 cm (24in) in width at maturity, with rapid growth. It produces strong branches that bear elegant light green foliage, shiny, well-filled, and disease-resistant if the growing conditions are correct. Throughout the summer, if care is taken to remove faded flowers, its medium-sized, double, somewhat informal flowers blossom with thin, watercolour-like petals, blending all shades of pink and yellow. They are solitary or grouped in bouquets, carried at the end of long shoots from the current year or appearing on 2-year-old stems. The fragrance of the flowers, relatively light, is both floral and fruity, dominated by notes of peach.

This rose, 'Marc Chagall',' with its softly scented watercolour flowers, is as beautiful in flower beds as in bouquets. It can be placed alone in a small garden or planted in groups of 3 specimens among low perennials such as violets, carnations, dwarf asters or aubrietas. Its modest size makes it well-suited for cultivating in a large pot. It blends well in flower beds with low shrubs that flower in summer or autumn or mixed with light perennials and annuals such as Sea Kale, panicle phlox or tall foxgloves. It will be nicely enhanced in front of a boxwood or yew screen or, conversely, surrounded by a miniature hedge or a skillfully organised maze, as in Italian or French gardens. Its multicoloured roses go well with white, soft yellow or pink flowers in flower beds or bouquets.
