Rosa x moschata 'Walferdange'

The 'Walferdange' Rose is an adorable bush adorned with double and romantic flowers gathered in round and pink bouquets. They display a lovely range of colors, ranging from dark pink to true pink, with a pastel shade and a yellow blush at the base of the petals. With its recurrent blooming, it is also a versatile variety that can be used in the garden, in pots, and as cut flowers. A must-see!

The Walferdange Rose 'LENwal' is a creation by L. Lens dating back to 1990. This modern variety is derived, among others, from the musk rose Rosa moschata. In just a few years, this variety forms a tall bush with sturdy thorny stems, reaching an average height of 70 cm (28in) and a width of 50 cm (20in). It bears abundant foliage, cut into dark green, slightly glossy leaflets. This deciduous foliage falls in autumn. The flowering period lasts from June to October, with successive waves of blooms. The wide corollas measuring 5 cm (2in) are fully double, in the shape of cups. They are gathered in round bouquets. This rose's flowering is slightly fragrant. It is highly hardy, tolerating temperatures below -15 °C (5°F).

The floribunda roses can be used to create beautiful small hedges, planted mixed at the edge of the terrace or in small shrub beds. Combine them with ground cover roses, abelias, nandinas, or caryopteris for example. They are perfect companions for catmints, foxgloves, and tall baby's breath. The moderate growth, generosity, and charm of 'Walferdange' make it an interesting variety for all gardens, even small ones and for container gardening. Its uses are multiple, depending on each gardener's desires: in a rose bed, accompanied by white varieties ('Marie Pavie', 'Swanny'), pink or mauve ones ('Blue Boy', 'Rhapsody in Blue'). Like all roses, it looks stunning mixed with easy-to-grow perennials such as hardy geraniums or asters. Its roses are very pretty in small bouquets or as table centerpieces, paired with double clematis flowers for example.
