Naturally disease-resistant roses, never get sick even without treatment and are completely unaffected by blackspot, powdery mildew, or rust. Among the best is the 'Bonica' rose from Meilland, often mentioned as one of the most awarded varieties of its generation. Also on the podium are the varieties holding the famous A.D.R label (Allgemeine Deutsche Rosenneuheitenprüfung) such as 'Emera' or 'Opalia', some old-fashioned roses, and a few botanical species. Among the old-fashioned roses are hybrids of Rosa rugosa ('Hansa', 'Blanc double de Coubert'...), alba roses ('Cuisse de Nymphe'), and the moss rose 'Salet'. Among the botanical species and their close hybrids, we have Rosa complicata and Rosa hugonis, bushes that never disappoint, even when grown in unfavourable conditions (excessive humidity or heat). Among climbing roses, we can always rely on the good health of 'Ghislaine de Féligonde'. Finally, among the rambling roses, wonderful old creations such as 'Mermaid' or 'Felicité et Perpétue' have never seen a sprayer in their lives for many gardeners. Discover in these pages our selection of these nearly perfect roses.

The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:
In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
