A classic symbol of grace and elegance, pink roses are often presented as a token of admiration or appreciation. Pink roses have a pretty broad range of symbolic associations. In general, these roses symbolize admiration, gentleness, dignity, elegance, innocence, and happiness. Whatever your message is, you can convey it with a bouquet of pink roses.
In the world of flowers, there is an abundance of shades of pink to be found. From the softest blush pink to that classic, rose pink to striking magenta hues. It's true, there is no other color among roses that offers the possibility of variation as well as pink does. If you want to show romance and admiration, then the Rose Prince Jardinier could be your go-to flower.
It's All About Romance With Rose Prince Jardinier
Created in 1996, and bred by Meilland, Rose Prince Jardinier is a very light pink and ultra-romantic variety. It opens up to an almost saucer-shaped bloom and produces ultra-romantic scented roses. In fact, this rose is one of the top 10 best-scented roses, and also among the most fragrant varieties.

These are very open, soft, and swirly roses, whose petals open wide enough to expose the center pollen. Rose Prince Jardinier, also, has the swirled velvet petal structure typical of garden roses as well as a particularly romantic feel. And if you are lucky enough to stick your nose into one of them, you will soon find out that it's one of the most delicious-smelling roses in the world.
With its big blooms and rich pink-cream color it exhales a strong fragrance of the rose of May. Its foliage is dark green and glossy and the plant reaches a height of roughly 80-130 cm and a spread of 70 cm. It is a hybrid tea rose with more qualities of a grandiflora rose - with cupped blooms. It bears flower blooms on each of its stems continuously throughout the season and has perfect disease resistance.

Also, while Rose Prince Jardinier opens fast, it still has the unique ability to hold its shape normally for days.
French Scented Roses from Meilland
Prince Jardinier is a French variety cultivated by Meilland International. Every year around 200,000 new rose plants emerge in Provence, a region in southern France. All of this is done by hand by the Meilland family and its employees.

After a testing period of 5 to 7 years in France, and at various locations in Europe, Japan, and the USA, among others, about 10 to 15 new varieties are introduced each year. And only a few of those are suitable to get into the fragrant cut roses selection.
Named After the Gardener Prince
The rose was named after Prince Louis Albert de Broglie, a member of one of France's top aristocratic families. Louis Albert is known for his love for gardening, especially growing tomatoes, hence the name Le Prince Jardinier (The Gardener Prince).

A Rose Perfect for a Sophisticated Wedding Bouquet
Rose Prince Jardinier roses are delicate and require special care, but become truly magical in the hands of an experienced floral designer. The rose is a fast bloomer with approximately 60 petals and a diameter of 10-12 cm when fully open.

Due to its relatively short vase life, it's not the most convenient rose for events. But then again, Rose Prince Jardinier lends itself perfectly to sophisticated wedding bouquets and lush centerpieces.
With its pale, ballet pink shades and incredible scent, this variety is a must-have to work with and could soon after become one of your favorites.
