Exclusive to Rankin's
Spring Release 2003


DELBARDS - there’s a little patch of paradise in central France – at its heart, the village of Milicorne. And it is here that, for the last 4 generations, from a 13th century Chateau surrounded by six hundred hectares of undulating countryside, a family of rose lovers and breeders has created the magic and perfection of the varieties that proudly carry their name – Delbard.

In this idyllic setting, Henri and Arnaud Delbard live and breathe the roses that have become the toast of “Tout Le France’.

24 Varieties will be available – chosen from several different stories:

and the magnificent
Painter's Collection

 

The Delbard Family have created and nurtured a unique Rose Collection offering a complete garden range of roses. Everything from their Grand Parfums, Couture, Bordure, Climbing, Roses de Libertie through to their magnificent Painters Collection.

Striped of swirling with colours, deepest black buds opening to rich red, citrus yellow with lime green leaves, colours that are unique, clean, clear and inspiring, their perfumes enchanting.

Delbards are not only internationally revered for their extraordinary roses, but also for their horticultural skills which include fruit breeding, notably apples that are among Europe's finest, their 19 extensive garden centres situated throughout France and their magnificent florists range of cut roses.

Delbard roses are thriving in Australian conditions. They are growing vigorously, are repeat flowering, have bushy habits, and are hardy and disease resistant. Our testing is done, our trialing complete and it is now with great pleasure, excitement and honour that we introduce Delbard French Roses to Australians, the gardeners of tomorrow's world.
