Description: Andre Le Notre roses
The variety is not at all similar to the classic ones hybrid tea roses - beautiful bud and a mass of shapeless petals in full bloom - but a truly modern large-flowered rose that looks best in full bloom. The flowers open from globular buds, revealing a swirling center in old style. The color and the way it changes over time is very beautiful because... the outer petals are almost white (or rather porcelain pink), while the center of the flower is deep pink, with apricot tones at the base. According to the originator, the variety is very resistant to diseases. In any case, the delightful color, shape and wonderful aroma created a real sensation when the variety was first bred. (ARE)Even before his work on the gardens of Versailles, Le Nôtre, together with Louis Leveau and Charles Lebrun, worked on creating a park in Vaux le Vicomte.
Among his other works, one can note the planning and creation of parks in Fontainebleau, Chantilly, Saint-Cloud Castle, and Saint-Germain Palace. He is also the author of the projects for St. James's Park in London and Greenwich Park. Le Nôtre is considered the recognized creator of the French system regular park, which dominated Europe until the middle of the 18th century. Along with this, he made a great contribution to the practice of urban planning: he expanded the alleys of the Tuileries to the west, where the Champs-Élysées street later appeared, and contributed to the creation of the historical axis of Paris. In 1635, when Le Nôtre was 22 years old, he was appointed head gardener to Gaston, Duke of Orleans, brother of King Louis XIII. And on June 26, 1637, Le Nôtre was appointed head gardener of the Tuileries, taking over his father’s position. Pictured is the Park of Versailles (Château de Versailles)
In 1643 he was appointed "designer of lawns and plantings" under the Queen Mother Anne of Austria, and from 1645 to 1646 he worked on the reconstruction of the gardens of the Fontainebleau Palace. He was later placed in charge of all the royal gardens of France, purchasing in 1657 the additional position of controller general of the royal buildings.
Andre Le Nôtre completed his first significant gardening project for Nicolas Fouquet, superintendent of finance under Louis XIV. Fouquet began work on the castle of Vaux-le-Vicomte in 1657.
Work on the garden was completed by 1661, when Fouquet hosted inauguration festivities in honor of the king at the castle. They say he paid for this with his life: the jealous king arrested him. Louis was captivated by the beauty of Vaux-le-Vicomte Park. Beginning in 1661, on behalf of Louis XIV, Le Nôtre created and reconstructed gardens and parks at the Palace of Versailles.
In 1661, Le Nôtre also worked on the gardens of the Fontainebleau Palace. In 1663, he was invited to work at the Palace of Saint-Germain and at the Castle of Saint-Cloud, the residence of Louis XIV's younger brother Philippe d'Orléans, where Le Nôtre supervised the work for many years. Beginning in 1663, Le Nôtre was also invited to Chateau de Chantilly, the estate of the Prince de Condé, where he worked until the 1680s along with his nephew Pierre Degots. Beginning in 1664, Le Nôtre began to reconstruct the Tuileries Gardens at the invitation of Colbert, minister of state Louis XIV, who hoped that the king would still leave Paris as his residence. In 1667, Le Nôtre extended the alleys of the park to the west, forming an avenue that in the future would become the Champs-Élysées. In 1670, Colbert commissioned Le Nôtre to remodel the gardens at his newly purchased Château de Sceaux, and this work lasted until 1683.
From 1679 to 1691, Le Nôtre participated in the planning of the gardens of the Château de Meudon, commissioned by Louis XIV's minister of war, the Marquis de Louvois. Le Nôtre's last work in royal service was his participation in the planning of the Marly Palace in 1692.
2013 in France has been declared the Year of Le Nôtre.
In honor of Andre Le Notre's anniversary, numerous celebrations, exhibitions and festivals are held in France and Paris, primarily in Versailles, where the National School of Landscape is located, and in the castle of Vaux-Le-Vicomte, where Le Notre created the first park -French "Jardin à la française".
From September 14 to December 15, the Versailles Municipal Library (Versailles) will host the exhibition “The Labyrinth of Versailles, from myth to play” (Le bosquet du Labyrinthe). It is dedicated to the labyrinth created by Andre Le Nôtre and Charles Perrault, which, unfortunately, was destroyed in the 18th century.
From October 22, 2013 to February 24, 2014, Versailles will host the exhibition “André Le Nôtre in Perspective” (Le Nôtre en perspective. 1613 - 2013), which will tell in detail about the great architect of parks and gardens.
- Of course, in Versailles, Andre Le Notre most fully embodied his landscape gardening concept, creating a type of park that was imitated by the whole of Europe, but it was first tried in the park of Vaux-le-Vicomte (Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte) commissioned by Nicolas Fouquet. For this reason, at the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte the exhibition is called “Le Nôtre, a fundamental work” (Le Génie de Le Nôtre à Vaux le Vicomte). It will open on April 12, 2013.
The Château de Chantilly, where Andre Le Notre also worked on behalf of the Princes of Condé, will host the exhibition “André Le Notre and the Gardens of Chantilly” (Exposition sur les jardins français créés pour le Grand Condé) from April 12 to July 7.
On the estate Saint-Germain Palace (Château de Saint-Germain-en-Laye) The festivities will last throughout the year, and they will begin on April 4 at the Palace at 11 a.m. in the presence of the city mayor and senators.
Giving roses is not only putting a bouquet of flowers into your hands, it is also a kind of declaration of love. In order for the rose to absorb all the beauty intended for it by nature, we carefully and lovingly care for it at every stage of its cultivation: from the greenhouse to the boutique.
I/ Dialogue of professionals
Every day in the greenhouse begins with the most important questions: how are the flowers growing, what is causing concern, are the plants healthy? Have insects appeared on them? In the photograph, experts examine glue traps for insects, by which agronomists determine whether there is greenhouse pests. The greenhouse is divided so that the phytosanitary situation in any place is absolutely clear to specialists.
II/Greenhouse. Vintage Peony rose from Yves Piaget.
Cutting roses is an important operation and is done two to three times a day. Speed and clarity are very important here. The florist carefully holds the flowers in front of him as if he were his child, so as not to damage them.
III/Harvest. Cutting roses Coffee break.
IV/ Norma Jean's Harvest. Packing in nets.
The critical time from the start of cutting one variety to the moment when the flowers are wrapped in a net is three minutes. The mesh is a frame that is supposed to protect the flowers, so it is hard; soft craft, which is placed on top of the mesh, helps keep the petals intact.
V/ Sent to the refrigerator: Cream Piaget roses in nets are sent to the refrigerator already on the water.
The maximum time during which flowers should be refrigerated is 15 minutes. All grids are placed in tanks with pre-prepared clean water, cooled to 4 degrees.
VI/ Prikuling
6 hours is the minimum time that flowers should spend in the refrigerator. This operation is necessary to preserve flowers and ensure their long life in a vase. During these 6 hours, all biological processes of the flower slow down, so then they open much more slowly.
VII/ Sorting is carried out in two stages.
First, the flowers are sorted by length, and then by quality - according to the high “Rose Fairy” criteria. In total, the flowers will be out of the refrigerator for only 15 minutes.
The grid opens
Length: Flowers are first sorted by length - from 30 to 90 centimeters. When sorting, the buds should never touch the table.
Wooden covering is, of course, too hard for flowers. To protect the petals, soft cardboard is always placed.
VIII/ Sorting - Quality and Packaging
Everything is arranged so that the buds do not touch the table. They will only be in contact with craft packaging material.
The sorter received all the flowers at the same length and checks each rose according to quality standards. She then packs them into bundles for delivery to the buyer.
When packing, it is important to correctly choose the side of the stem on which it is most comfortable, bud to bud, the next stem will be laid. They should lie tightly enough so as not to be mobile during transportation, but ensuring maximum safety of the petals.
Perfection is difficult to achieve, difficult to know or find, but it seems that we are definitely closer to it when we saw rose. This delightful flower impresses with its attire and persistent fragrant aroma.
Only the swelling buds have a romantic pink-peach color. With gradual opening, slight fading occurs and then light shades predominate in the flower. The core of the densely double bud is pink, and the outer edges of the outer petals are whitish. Due to the chaotic arrangement and corrugated edge of the petals, the flowers appear lacy. If you are a connoisseur of fragrances, then rose Andre Le Notre created just for you. The smell is intense and sweet.
The rose has practically no complaints, the flower is large 13 cm, the bush is 110 cm high and neat. There is a lot of foliage, so it complements the composition well.

André Le Nôtre (French: André Le Nôtre) (1613 – 1700) – the greatest French landscape designer and park builder. He is considered the recognized creator of the French regular park system, which dominated Europe until the mid-18th century. Along with this, he made a great contribution to the practice of urban planning: he expanded the alleys of the Tuileries in a western direction, where the Champs-Elysees street later appeared, and contributed to the creation of the historical axis of Paris.
Andre Le Nôtre was born on March 12, 1613 in Paris into a family of landscaping masters. His grandfather, Pierre Le Nôtre, first supplied plant seeds to the court of Marie de Medici, and then became the gardener of the Tuileries Palace from 1572. André's father, Jean Le Nôtre, was also responsible for parts of the Tuileries Gardens, and during the reign of Louis XIII he was appointed head gardener of the Tuileries Palace. His son Andre was destined to become the hereditary royal gardener.
His parents' house was located directly in the Tuileries, and Andre, who spent his entire childhood observing the processes of cultivating gardens, quickly mastered the theoretical and practical fundamentals of gardening. This location of the house subsequently allowed him to study close to the royal palace, under the roof of which the Academy of Arts was subsequently opened. Le Nôtre received good education: He studied drawing with the artist Simon Vouet, where he became friends with the artist Charles Lebrun, and studied the laws of perspective with the architect François Mansart.
In 1635, when Le Nôtre was 22 years old, he was appointed head gardener to Gaston, Duke of Orleans, brother of King Louis XIII. And since 1637, Le Nôtre was appointed chief gardener of the Tuileries, taking over his father's position. He was primarily responsible for the areas of the garden adjacent to the palace. In 1643 he was appointed "designer of lawns and plantings" to the Queen Mother Anne of Austria, and from 1645 to 1646 he worked on the reconstruction of the gardens of the Fontainebleau Palace.
The first independent major work of 43-year-old Andre Le Nôtre, who by that time bore the title of “chief gardener of the Tuileries,” was the gardens of the castle of Nicolas Fouquet Vaux-le-Vicomte. Here he demonstrated for the first time the full breadth of his education and the power of his genius. The design and construction of the complex began in 1656 and was completed in 1661. The work was carried out by Le Nôtre, the artist Le Brun and the architect Louis Levo. The almighty Minister of Finance Nicolas Fouquet gathered the best masters of France to build his castle, and the grand ensemble of Vaux-le-Vicomte became the avant-garde of French Baroque.
André Le Nôtre became widely known at court, and Louis XIV made him his trusted advisor. The gardener stayed away from court intrigues and focused on serving the king, who was very passionate about gardening art. Le Nôtre’s most grandiose creation is the parks of the royal residence of Versailles. Louis XIV appreciated the genius of the court gardener: from 1657, Le Nôtre was appointed “general controller of buildings” in royal palaces, in other words, put in charge of all the royal gardens of France. By order of the king, Le Nôtre was granted a noble title and a coat of arms, which was decorated with three white garden snails.
There are very few direct references to Le Nôtre in royal records, and Le Nôtre himself very rarely put down on paper his ideas or considerations for the design of parks. He expressed his inner world exclusively through their gardens. Le Nôtre is rightfully considered the first architect in European history to focus exclusively on park architecture. He created a classic system for constructing an extensive regular “French park”, in which the parterre spread out in front of the palace with patterned lawns, mirrors of ponds, fountains and a clear network of straight alleys culminate in distant vistas of the park itself.
The great gardener Andre Le Nôtre lived a long and happy life. He died in Paris on September 15, 1700, at the age of 87, leaving to his descendants the magnificent parks of Saint-Germain, Fontainebleau, Chantilly, Saint-Cloud and the Tuileries in France, Saint James and Greenwich in England, as well as Vaux-le-Vicomte and a real miracle, which has been striking with its beauty and scope for several centuries, is the brilliant Versailles.
