Guillot N°1

The first rose of a French legend. Guillot N°1 is more than a rose — it is a symbol of French horticultural tradition and excellence. Created to honour the beginnings of the renowned Roses Guillot house, this variety brings together the elegance of romantic roses, intense fragrance and spectacular flowering, making it a truly distinctive choice for gardeners looking for something exceptional. The large flowers, measuring 10–12 cm in diameter, are densely double, with approximately 90–120 petals arranged in a perfectly formed rosette, reminiscent of some of the finest French garden roses. Delicate shades of pale pink, with soft pastel reflections and a slightly deeper-toned centre, give the plant an elegant and romantic appearance that immediately draws the eye. Fragrance is one of the most impressive qualities of this variety. Guillot N°1 has a very intense and sophisticated scent, with rich notes of Damask rose, ripe fruit and spicy nuances. The fragrance lingers gently around the plant, turning each flowering into a memorable sensory experience. The plant develops into a vigorous, compact and well-branched shrub, with glossy, dark green and very healthy foliage. It flowers repeatedly and abundantly from May until the first frosts, producing successive flushes of spectacular blooms throughout the season. Thanks to its excellent disease resistance, continuous flowering and remarkable fragrance, Guillot N°1 is ideal for romantic gardens, borders, specimen planting or groups. It is also an excellent choice for cutting. Guillot N°1 embodies the essence of the French tradition of rose growing. With its richly petalled flowers, exceptional fragrance and timeless elegance, this variety brings the refinement and prestige of one of the world’s oldest and most respected rose houses into the garden, delivering an impressive floral display year after year.
