Princess de Monaco

Princess de Monaco

Hybrid tea-rose.

 

Photographed this week in Sydney in a magical rose garden located along Pretoria Parade, Hornsby, in northern Sydney.

This particular 'Princess' is looking a little extra pink than usual. Normally you see more of a pink & white variegation. So perhaps this is the Barbie edition, flowering here in the Hills District of Sydney, for the current mega Barbie movie!!

 

Princess de Monaco is a blended hybrid tea rose cultivar bred in France by Marie-Louise Meilland and introduced in 1981. It is dedicated to Princess Grace of Monaco (1929-1982).

 

Its parents were two hybrid tea cultivars, 'Ambassador' (Meilland, 1977) and the MEGA famous 'Peace' rose (Meilland, 1935).
