Roseraie de L'Haÿ
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Roseraie du Val-de-Marne is a garden devoted to roses established in 1899 on rue Albert Watel in L'Haÿ-les-Roses, Val-de-Marne, France.
About 8 km south of Paris, it was created by landscape architect Édouard François André and rosarian Jules Gravereaux (1844-1916) and claims to be the first ever garden dedicated exclusively to roses.
Laid out in thirteen formal sections, today Roseraie du Val-de-Marne has a total of 13,100 rose bushes featuring 3200 species and varieties. The garden has modern French and foreign roses on one side, the formal rose garden with a reflecting pool in the center, and the old garden roses and classic roses on the other side.
