Created as a legacy gift to celebrate Relais & Châteaux’s 60th birthday, the ‘Relais & Châteaux’ rose combines nostalgic beauty with the performance of a modern variety.
Its slightly frilled yet firm petals form classically shaped blooms that, when fully open, reveal golden stamens that attract bees. The colouring shifts gently across soft tones of cream, with hints of pink blending into warm peach, giving each flower a subtle, painterly effect that stands out beautifully against backgrounds such as brick walls or painted surfaces.
The plant grows to shoulder height and maintains a neat, uniform shape. It is versatile in the garden, suitable for feature planting in large containers, as well as in mass plantings or mixed beds, and it produces an abundance of blooms ideal for cutting.
Highly disease tolerant, this rose is also lightly fragrant, with an earthy blend of freshly cut grass, rose, and a touch of fruit—evoking a warm sense of welcome and home.
