Very sweet fragrance

Ever sin­ce the glo­rious heyday of rose gro­wing in Luxem­bourg, seve­ral Luxem­bourg varie­ties have been dedi­ca­ted to mem­bers of the Grand Ducal fami­ly. True to this tra­di­ti­on, in 2016 Lët­ze­buer­ger Rou­se­frënn gave a magni­fi­cent shrub rose to H.R.H. Prin­cess Sté­pha­nie, future Grand Duch­ess of Luxem­bourg. The her­edi­ta­ry Grand Duch­ess has a keen inte­rest in clas­si­cal music and the arts. She is the chair of the Board of Gover­nors of the Musée d’Art Moder­ne Grand-Duc Jean (Grand Duke Jean Muse­um of Modern Art, MUDAM).
The beau­tiful deli­ca­te apri­cot-colou­red flowers of ‘Prin­ces­se Sté­pha­nie Gran­de-Duch­es­se héri­tiè­re de Luxem­bourg’ open out into magni­fi­cent roset­tes of around 7 cm. They exu­de a very subt­le scent of green tea. This modern rose­bush with nost­al­gic charm flowers for many months. It is very har­dy and does­n’t requi­re any che­mi­cal treatments.
