The shrub grows with a certain freedom, sending its branches in different directions with an almost carefree air. Then the flowers arrive—and suddenly everything becomes ordered and precise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreated by Dominique Massad for the historic French house Guillot, Chantal Mérieux belongs to the Générosa® collection, developed to bring together the romance and fragrance associated with old roses and the repeat flowering expected from a modern garden variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flowers are approximately 8 cm across and appear either individually or in small groups of up to three. Their petals open into beautifully defined quarters, with delicately notched edges that give the flowers something of the softness and generosity of peonies. Pink is the dominant colour, subtly shaded with carmine so that the blooms appear warm and luminous against the glossy green foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYet fragrance may be the real reason to grow Chantal Mérieux. Guillot describes a voluptuous perfume in which rose is joined by raspberry, myrrh, aniseed and even a suggestion of cider. It is an unusually complex combination: fruity, aromatic and unmistakably floral at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is therefore a rose worth planting somewhere you actually spend time. Beside a terrace, along a path or close to a garden seat, its perfume becomes part of the experience of the garden rather than something appreciated only when a flower is deliberately picked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowering is exceptionally generous, with successive blooms appearing from May until November. The plant develops into a vigorous shrub approximately 1.5 m high and 0.8 m wide, with bright, glossy foliage. Guillot also describes it as a particularly healthy rose, making its long flowering season easier to enjoy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt works beautifully as an individual shrub or within a border, where its slightly informal growth can mingle naturally with perennials. It can also be grown in a generous container, provided it receives sufficient space, water and nutrition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd when the fragrance deserves to come indoors, the flowers have good vase performance. A few stems are enough to explain what makes Chantal Mérieux memorable: a rose that looks romantic from across the garden, but reveals its greatest pleasure when you come close enough to breathe it in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"fr-pdp-close\"\u003e Show less → \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cspan class=\"fr-pdp-summary-row\"\u003eCharacteristics →\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"fr-pdp-content fr-pdp-specs\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCharacteristics:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOfficial name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chantal Mérieux®\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariety code:\u003c\/strong\u003e MASCHAME\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Générosa® shrub rose\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBreeder:\u003c\/strong\u003e Guillot-Massad \/ Dominique Massad\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduced by:\u003c\/strong\u003e Roseraie Guillot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e France\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pink shaded with carmine\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlower form:\u003c\/strong\u003e Double, quartered flowers with delicately notched petals\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlower size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 8 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlowers per stem:\u003c\/strong\u003e Usually solitary or in small groups of up to three\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very strong\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrance character:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rose, raspberry, myrrh, aniseed and cider notes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very generous repeat flowering from May to November\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight at maturity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 1.5 m\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth at maturity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 0.8 m\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vigorous, bushy and naturally relaxed, with spreading branches\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright, glossy green foliage\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant health:\u003c\/strong\u003e Guillot describes the variety as particularly healthy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExposure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rose beds, mixed borders, specimen planting, groups, large containers and cut flowers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCut flower performance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good vase performance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDelivery format:\u003c\/strong\u003e Quality 1+ premium, second-year rose bush grafted onto a vigorous rootstock\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"fr-pdp-close\"\u003e Show less → \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cspan class=\"fr-pdp-summary-row\"\u003eFrequently asked questions →\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"fr-pdp-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequently asked questions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat colour is Chantal Mérieux?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe flowers are predominantly pink, subtly shaded with carmine.
