Rosa x moschata Bouquet Parfait 'Lenbofa'

The Clustered Flower Bush 'Bouquet Parfait' was named because it has a unique characteristic: its adorable roses are gathered in beautiful round clusters, mixing their double corollas ranging from white to soft pink in a perfect bouquet, ready to be placed in a vase. The bush, on the other hand, shows remarkable vigour, excellent flowering, good tolerance to limestone, and perfect cold resistance.  An excellent variety in every way, full of charm, for all gardens.  Definitely worth discovering!

The 'Bouquet Parfait' Lenbofa Rose is a creation of Belgian rose breeder Louis Lens, dating back to 1989. This hybrid musk rose quickly forms an upright but flexible bush, well-branched at the base, with thorny stems 1.20m (4ft) to 1.50m (5ft) in height and 80cm (32in) in width, and covered with healthy deciduous foliage, cut into large leaflets, with a satin green colour in summer. Its flowering is particularly recurrent and abundant from June to October-November if faded flowers are removed. Its wide corollas, measuring 8cm (3in), have 30 to 35 petals, they are flat, tightly packed, and gathered in clusters of 6 to 10 flowers. The variegated dark pink buds open into small pink cabbage-like blooms, then unfold into round and fully open cups, with a milky white color, turning pinkish at the edges over time. Each bouquet offers a changing and permanent spectacle, with a mix of white, cream, and different shades of soft pink. This resistant rose seems to be slightly susceptible to black spot disease, marsonia, under certain climates. If this is the case in your region, it is advisable to treat it preventively once a month.

Clustered roses are great for creating beautiful small hedges, planted mixed in small shrub beds or in front of larger shrubs. Combine them with abelias, nandinas, or caryopteris, for example. They are good companions for peonies, Nepeta, paniculate phlox, and tall baby's breath. The vigor of 'Bouquet Parfait', its charm that invariably captivates rose lovers, makes it an interesting variety for all gardens. It is easy to grow. It can be used in various ways, according to each gardener's preferences: in a rose bed, paired with white varieties ('Marie Pavie', 'Swanny'), or mauve ones ('Blue Boy', 'Rhapsody in Blue', 'Roman Waltz'), or mixed with easy-to-grow perennials like perennial geraniums, small-flowered carnations, or blue asters. And its lightly scented roses are absolutely adorable in bouquets!
