Claude Brasseur Rose (MElbriacus / クロード・プラッサール: Hardy Hybrid Tea with Long – Lasting Blooms)
A reliable 2006 Meilland hybrid tea, Claude Brasseur is a florist and gardener favorite, thanks to its 7–10 day single bloom life, sturdy structure, 10–12 cm ruffled blooms, and easy – care 70–100 cm habit. With ~75 thick petals forming a tight high – centered cup that resists flopping, it holds its shape beautifully from bud to fade, while its mysterious purple – pink color with blue/magenta flashes adds drama to any cut arrangement or garden bed.
At 70–100 cm tall, it fits perfectly in borders, containers, or cutting gardens, with strong stems that support large blooms without bending. The complex old rose + fruity scent diffuses well, filling gardens or rooms with a nostalgic yet fresh aroma—ideal for near – stem enjoyment or mixed bouquets. Its thick petals and tight cup shape ensure it stays elegant, never “blossom – flopping” even in warm weather, while the 7–10 day single bloom life means longer – lasting color indoors and out.
Claude Brasseur is low – maintenance for a hybrid tea. Plant in full sun to partial shade and well – drained soil, water when the top 5 cm of soil dries out, and apply a balanced rose fertilizer monthly during the growing season. A light late – winter trim to shape and remove dead wood will boost new growth and blooms. For extended vase life, trim stems at a 45 – degree angle, remove submerged leaves, and add floral preservative to water. Whether you’re a seasoned rose grower or new to hybrid teas, this French classic delivers enduring beauty, rich scent, and hassle – free performance.
