Alexandra David-Neel® is a rare and elegant rose created by Georges Delbard in tribute to the legendary explorer and writer Alexandra David-Neel, the first European woman to enter Lhasa in Tibet. Just like the remarkable woman it honours, this rose embodies independence, depth, and a spirit of discovery.

Its large blooms appear in generous clusters throughout the season, each flower measuring around 9 cm and composed of more than 60 finely cut petals. The colour is a deep mauve-pink, rich and intense, bringing a distinctive presence to borders and garden beds.

Flowering is repeat blooming from May until the first frosts. The fragrance is powerful and refined, dominated by floral notes of rose, lilac, and ivy, giving this variety a truly memorable perfume signature.

Compact, vigorous, and beautifully structured, Alexandra David-Neel® grows to around 60 to 80 cm in height. Its dense, glossy dark green deciduous foliage is exceptionally healthy, supported by very good natural disease resistance, making it an excellent choice for gardeners seeking both beauty and reliability.

Awarded internationally even before its official release, this rose is a standout addition to the Delbard Grands Parfums collection.

Supplied as strong 1-year-old plants in 5L containers.
