L'Haÿ-les-Roses, Residential commune in southern Paris, France.
L'Haÿ-les-Roses is a residential commune in the Val-de-Marne area south of Paris. It combines housing neighborhoods with green spaces and provides access to schools, parks, and public transportation that connect it to the capital.
The area grew from an ancient rural estate that developed into a settled community through the Middle Ages. Modern expansion accelerated in the 1900s when the famous rose garden was founded and reshaped the commune's purpose.
The rose garden has shaped this place's character since the early 1900s. Residents and visitors naturally connect the commune with flower cultivation and horticultural traditions that run through daily life.
The place is easily accessible from Paris by public transport and has several schools and green spaces for residents. Visitors should plan a trip to the rose garden in late spring or early summer when blooms are at their fullest.
The rose garden began as a private collection from a French rose enthusiast and expanded into a research center. Today it documents hundreds of rose varieties from different eras and shows how these blooms have changed across generations.
