Roseraie du Val-de-Marne, Rose garden in L'Haÿ-les-Roses, France
The Roseraie du Val-de-Marne displays 13,100 rose bushes representing 3,200 different species, arranged in thirteen formal sections around a central reflecting pool.
Jules Gravereaux, a former Bon Marché executive, established the garden in 1894 and collaborated with landscape architect Édouard André to create this specialized rose collection.
The garden maintains both modern French roses and old garden varieties, preserving traditional horticultural techniques through regular demonstrations and educational programs.
Located 8 kilometers south of Paris at Rue Albert Watel, the garden opens from May through September, with adult admission at 4 euros.
The garden was established to develop new rose hybrids for perfume production, resulting in 27 new varieties including the Rosa rugosa 'Roseraie de L'Haÿ'.
