n°7 Le Clos des Rosiers

Hardinvast

An orgy of roses

From the intense blue flowers of the Rhododendron augustinii at the end of April to the burning embers of the spectacular Japanese maples in autumn, this opulent garden contains interest all year long.

The apotheosis of the garden is in June, when the 130 roses come into flower accompanied by a fabulous choice of perennial and annual subjects who surround and embellish these divas of the garden. Then comes the time for the Hydrangeas. A magic collection which Jack Coupey started 20 years ago, and which he and Marie-Antoinette tend fastidiously since their retirement in 2004.
