Le Soleil rit

Hybrid Gallica
Hybridized by Jean-Pierre Vibert 2002

This rose has strongly fragrant, semi-double flowers. The petals are red, crimson-violet opening to reveal golden stamens at the center.

This rose looks more modern than the others, with its large flowers and larger, stiffer foliage.

Le soleil rit translates to the sun laughs, an expression from Normandy meaning that the weather is very nice.
