Enchanting, sophisticated, and beautifully fragrant, Le Petit Prince™ is an exquisite Hybrid Tea rose treasured for its dreamy lavender-mauve blooms, elegant flower form, and captivating perfume. Named for Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s beloved The Little Prince, this distinctive rose brings an almost storybook quality to the garden with its unusual coloring and graceful presence.
Le Petit Prince™ produces large, beautifully formed flowers in alluring shades of lavender, lilac, and soft mauve. The blooms open from shapely buds into full, elegantly arranged flowers whose cool coloring can shift subtly with temperature and maturity. Shades may range from silvery lavender to richer violet-mauve, giving each bloom remarkable depth.
Its fragrance adds tremendously to its appeal. The flowers release a strong, rich perfume that makes Le Petit Prince™ particularly rewarding in fragrance gardens or near patios, pathways, entrances, and seating areas where the blooms can be appreciated up close.
The flowers are carried on sturdy stems above attractive green foliage, making them excellent candidates for cutting and fresh arrangements. Repeat flowering provides successive flushes throughout the growing season, allowing gardeners to enjoy its unusual lavender coloring and wonderful fragrance from spring through fall.
