La Madeleine

NEW FOR 2026. Bred by Peter Beales Roses for Bonne Maman, La Madeleine is a warm amber to creamy yellow rose with beautifully formed blooms filled with layers of soft petals and a delicious, sweet fragrance. The flowers open from elegant buds into full, romantic blooms, their colouring echoing the golden caramel and creamy vanilla tones of the classic French madeleine that inspired its name. A modern-bred rose with strong health and vigour, La Madeleine forms a healthy, well-branched shrub with a repeat-flowering habit, typically reaching around 120cm in height and 90cm in spread (4ft x 3ft). It holds its shape well and is suited to borders, pots, mixed planting schemes and rose gardens, where its distinctive colouring and rich scent can be fully appreciated. Created to mark 21 years of Bonne Maman in the UK, La Madeleine brings together Peter Beales Roses’ passion for rose breeding with the charm and warmth associated with the famous French madeleine. Elegant, distinctive and full of character, La Madeleine is a rose with both beauty and a story to tell.
