Mon amie la rose is a studio album of the French popular singer Françoise Hardy. Like many of Hardy's earlier albums, it was released with no title, except for her name on the cover, but has become known by the title of the most successful song on the album, "Mon amie la rose". In New Zealand and Australia, the album was titled Fantastic Françoise.

In 1964, Hardy recorded an English version of "Dans le monde entier", titled "All Over the World". In 1965, this reached the Top 20 in the United Kingdom, remaining there for 15 weeks. In the Anglophone world, this may be Hardy's best-known song.^[1]
