More information
L'Aimant is a modern rose cultivar, distributed worldwide for its wavy pink blooms and notable fragrance. Flowers open slowly, showing short, wavy, bright pink petals, slightly paler at the edges with a salmon-toned center. They appear singly or in clusters of up to 5 and are suitable for cutting. The blooms have a slightly loose form. Flowers are rain-tolerant, and the variety performs better in warm weather. The shrub is branched, so blooms are not confined to the tips of long basal shoots. Foliage is dark green and somewhat susceptible to black spot.
Flowers are classic pink with a faint peach tint. The color lightens as the blooms age; removing spent blooms maintains appearance. Buds are globular, and the flowers are cup-shaped, up to 8 cm in diameter. The fragrance is strong. Inflorescences form in clusters of up to 5. It flowers early and for an extended period. The bush is vigorous, with a well-developed crown and many shoots. It reaches 100 cm in height and 60 cm in width. It grows well in open sites. The bush is densely foliated, with dark, glossy leaves. The main drawback is a tendency to black spot; under good growing conditions the incidence is reduced.
Pointed buds open to double flowers with wavy petals of fresh, pure pink, sometimes with an apricot center. Borne in clusters, they are suitable for cutting and are fragrant. The bush is strong and fast-growing.
Free-flowering and described as disease resistant, this rose has warm pink blooms with reddish undertones. It is fragrant and used both in the garden and as a cut flower. The bush is strongly grown and well formed.
