TRESOR DU JARDIN – cream-pink hybrid tea rose – Adam
Imagine enjoying late-afternoon tea on a sheltered coastal veranda while breezes from the sea ruffle the petals of TRESOR DU JARDIN, a hybrid tea rose bred for elegance and long-stemmed perfection. Its creamy, pastel-pink blooms and strong fruity fragrance create a refined yet relaxed atmosphere that pairs beautifully with shingle, sea kale and silvery grasses, even where constant winds and salty air demand tougher plants and careful drainage. In an own-root 2-litre container, it establishes steadily, putting energy into roots first, then taller shoots, and by the third year reaching full ornamental impact with generous repeat-flowering for cutting and garden .

| Feature rose near a coastal seating area |
Plant TRESOR DU JARDIN where you sit for morning coffee or evening tea so you can appreciate its large, classic hybrid tea blooms and strong fruity scent at close range, adding a calm focal point for coastal veranda owners and beginners. |
| Cut-flower corner in a small family garden |
Use it as the main cutting rose in a sunny spot, spacing plants for air movement and training upright stems for long, elegant flowers to bring indoors, ideal for hobby gardeners and homeowners. |
| Statement rose in a large container (40–50 L+) |
Grow one plant in a deep 40–50 litre container with free-draining compost so roots anchor securely and watering is easy to manage, suiting busy urban garden owners and balconies. |
| Mixed flower bed with silvers and grasses |
Combine with sea kale, Festuca and Lavandula so the cream-pink blooms glow against blue-grey foliage, while the robust structure holds up in brisk coastal breezes and salt-spray for coastal-style lovers and stylists. |
| Sheltered coastal shingle planting |
Set plants slightly raised above surrounding shingle to keep roots from sitting wet, providing steady growth and reliable flowering even where wind and rain are frequent challenges for coastal garden owners. |
| Own-root long-term specimen rose |
Choose this own-root potted form for stable regrowth from the base if stems are damaged, supporting a long-lived, tidy specimen with consistent flower quality for those seeking dependable garden structure and value. |
| Season-long focal point by the front door |
Position by a path or entrance where repeat flowering and strong scent can be enjoyed on daily trips in and out, giving a welcoming feel for families wanting reliable colour and charm. |
| Planned garden for regular care and spraying |
Best used where you are happy to monitor leaves and apply appropriate fungicide, as this variety needs consistent protection to keep its foliage healthy in UK conditions for engaged gardeners and enthusiasts. |

| Awards and recognition |
Highly decorated: Baden-Baden Goldene Rose, Gold Medal HT, Fragrance Award, Aesthetic Jury 1st Prize, Breeder's Jury 1st Prize (all 2015), plus Lyon “Plus Belle Rose de France” distinction. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Compact, upright bush about 60–90 cm high and 45–65 cm wide, with dense, glossy dark green foliage and moderate prickles; suited to front-of-border, specimen or container planting with support if needed. |
| Flower morphology |
Large, very double solitary blooms with over 40 petals, cupped form and a pronounced medium-high centre. Remontant habit with a notable second flush, providing classic hybrid tea flowers for cutting. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Delicate cream-pink tones: pale cream buds lightly flushed pink, opening cream-white with pastel pink inner petals, then fading to creamy white. Colour retention is moderate, softening gracefully as blooms age. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Strong, clearly perceptible fragrance with a fruity character, noticeable both in the garden and in the vase. Very full flowers somewhat conceal stamens, providing moderate rather than high pollinator value. |
| Hip characteristics |
Forms ovoid, orange-red hips about 12–18 mm in diameter in moderate numbers, adding late-season interest if spent blooms are not removed and conditions favour fruit development. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Fully hardy in typical UK conditions (approx. USDA 6b, RHS H7, to around –21 °C). Foliage is very susceptible to black spot, mildew and rust, so requires vigilant protection and good air circulation. |

Best in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil and regular watering during dry spells. Needs consistent fungicide sprays and hygiene; plant at 45–90 cm spacings depending on hedge, mass or specimen use. |
