Rosa x polyantha Message d'Espoir - Polyantha Rose

The 'Message d'Espoir' Rose Bush is a bush that stands out for its uninterrupted flowering from June to October, as well as its bright and warm colours, blending yellow, pink, and orange with brilliance. Underneath its bouquets of flowers, it displays beautiful foliage of dark green, glossy, and disease-free. All these qualities have earned it several awards in new rose competitions. Plant it in your flower beds, in a small hedge, or in a pot on the terrace. A bunch of its flowers in a vase is a lovely adornment for the home. Pair them with white, blue, or even purple roses!

'Message d'Espoir' is a modern bush rose with clustered flowers introduced to the market by Meilland in 2018, dedicated to a child protection and assistance organisation. This excellent variety won the 'Rosa de la Gent Gran' Prize in Barcelona, Spain in 2015, the Le Roeulx Certificate in Belgium in 2015, the Orléans Public Prize in 2018, the Hradec Králové Certificate in the Czech Republic in 2018, and the Warsaw Merit Certificate in Poland in 2020. The plant, with rapid growth, forms a dense and upright bush, reaching approximately 90 cm (35in) to 1 m (3ft) in height and 50-60 cm (20-24in) in width. Its green branches are strong and thorny, bearing abundant, healthy foliage of shiny dark green. The young shoots are beautifully coloured in coppery bronze. This beautiful, deciduous foliage is absent in winter. Throughout the season, if one takes care to remove faded flowers, the plant produces bouquets of 3 to 15 flowers. Each flower has approximately 25 slightly undulated petals. At their opening, the flowers have a classic turbinate shape. They then open widely into frilly corollas with a diameter of 8 cm (3in). Their colour ranges from yellow at the base of the petal to a soft orange marginated with coppery pink on the edges. Through this play of changing shades, each flower is unique, and the whole is variegated.

This 'Message d'Espoir' rose is an easy plant to grow for everyone and everywhere. It fits well in a large pot on the terrace or balcony, among perennials or other bushes, along pathways, or in flower beds. The warm colour of its flowers enlivens any setting for months. To accompany it, consider catmints and small gauras which are equally generous. Some light-flowering perennials (autumn asters, foxgloves, penstemons), as well as grasses, lavenders, or even blue-flowering perennial geraniums, are ideal for enhancing its beauty. It will be superb when planted in groups of 3 surrounded by silver foliage (sea cineraria, dusty miller, 'Valerie Finnis' artemisia...)
