The Rosa ‘Plaisanterie’, a masterpiece by Francis Meilland from 1962, is an enchanting shrub rose that fills your garden with irresistible charm. Its lush flowers shine in a deep pink shade with a hint of soft purple, formed in the iconic, densely packed rosette shape for which Meilland is so well known. Let yourself be seduced by the strong, fruity fragrance that fills the air and transports every passerby to a fairy-tale atmosphere, a true ode to romance and elegance.
With an elegant height of 90–120 cm and a healthy, bushy growth, ‘Plaisanterie’ is perfectly suited for borders, flower beds, and as an atmospheric addition to mixed plantings. This repeat-flowering beauty treats you to continuous new blooms from June to October, keeping your outdoor space a dynamic and colorful spectacle for months. Perfect for those looking for a rose that surprises both visually and sensorially.
At Belle Époque Rose Nursery in Aalsmeer, you buy your ‘Plaisanterie’ directly from the grower, backed by more than 40 years of expertise and passion. We cultivate our roses with care and attention to sustainability, ensuring you receive a strong, healthy plant that, with proper care, will bloom for years and enrich your garden with its timeless beauty.
